Highlights: {yields} A new modification of Cu{sub 4}I{sub 4}Pip{sub 4} has been produced under hydrothermal conditions. {yields} This modification have fluorescence properties when it is exposed to UV light. {yields} The fluorescence properties was characterized with fluorescence spectrophotometer. {yields} Quantum mechanical calculations was also performed. -- Abstract: A new modification of Cu{sub 4}I{sub 4}Pip{sub 4} has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. X-ray crystallography revealed that this compound crystallized in the monoclinic system and consists of a tetrahedral core with composition Cu{sub 4}I{sub 4}, in which each Cu atom is coordinated by a piperidine molecule via the N atom. In contrast to a previously reported modification of Cu{sub 4}I{sub 4}Pip{sub 4}, the present modification shows luminescent properties when exposed to UV-light. In addition, we have used time-dependent density functional theory calculations to characterize both compounds in term of both absorption and emission.
