The CuI atom in the title compund, [Cu(C7H2Br3O2)(C19H17P)2], is located on a twofold rotation axis; the 3,5,7-tribromotropolonate anion coordinates as a bidentate ligand with a bite angle of 76.42 (9)°. An intramolecular C—HO interaction occurs. Within the crystal, extensive weak C—Hπ interactions contribute to the herringbone pattern observed in the packing of the molecules.

In the title complex, [Cu(NO3)(C18H12F3P)3], the ligating atoms define a distorted tetrahedon with the three tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphane ligands in the basal positions and the nitrate ligand in the axial position. The intramolecular π–π interaction [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6113 (11) Å] between two of the 4-fluorophenyl groups is complemented by both C—HF and C—HO interactions with distances in the range 2.51–2.60 Å, resulting in a tight head-to-tail packing.
