A second polymorph of catena-poly[[(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')copper(II)]-di-µ-thio-cyanato-κN:S;κS:N].

ABSTRACT

In the title coordination polymer, [Cu(NCS)(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cu(II) atom is situated on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two N atoms from the bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four thio-cyanate groups to confer a CuN(4)S(2) octa-hedral geometry and resulting in a layer structure extending parallel to (100).
