The solid-state structure of the title compound, [Cu(C19H 13F2N2)(C5H9N) 2], shows that the CuI centre adopts a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry, being coordinated by two N atoms of the 6-amino-fulvene-2-aldimine (AFA) chelating ligand and by the bridgehead C atoms of the two isocyanide ligands. The cyclo-penta-dienyl and imine components of the AFA ligand are approximately coplanar, with an angle between the planes of 5.00 (3)°. The Cu atom lies 0.6460 (3) A above the imine plane defined by the N and C atoms of the seven-membered metallocycle. There is also an uncommon C-H...Cu anagostic inter-action, with an intra-molecular Cu...H distance of 2.67 A, which is less than the sum of the van der Waals radii.
