In the mononuclear title complex, [CuI(CH3CN)(C18H15P)2], the CuI ion is in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, coordinated by two P atoms of two triphenylphosphane ligands, one N atom of an acetonitrile ligand and one iodide anion. The acetonitrile ligand is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.629 (15): 0.371 (15) ratio. In the crystal, weak C—HI hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming a chain along [100].
