title: Poly[μ-4,4'-bipyridine-κN:N'-μ-thio-cyanato-κN:S-copper(I)].
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(NCS)(C(10)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cu(I) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two symmetry-related 4,4'-bipyridine (bipy) ligands and one N and one S atom from two symmetry-related thio-cyanate ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral environment. The thio-cyanate ligands bridge the Cu(I) atoms into a zigzag [CuSCN](n) chain running parallel to the a axis. These chains are further connected through two bipy ligands that bridge the Cu(I) centers to generate a two-dimensional brick-like network. The pyridyl planes of the ligands exhibit a dihedral angle of 37.35 (12)°.
