The attempted alkylation of 1,3-bis(2'-pyridylimino)isoindoline (indH) by the use of n-BuLi and subsequent alkyl halides led to quaternization of the pyridine nitrogens and the zwitterionic monodentate N-ligand (Me(2)ind)I was formed. By the use of the ligand the copper(I) complex [Cu(I)(Me(2)ind)I(2)]
