Abstract: A new polymeric copper complex, [Cu₂(C₆H₁₂N₄O₂)(C₂N₃)₂]_n or [Cu₂(oxen)[N(CN)₂]₂]_n [oxenH₂ is N,N'-bis(2-aminoethyl)oxamide], has been synthesized and its structure determined by X-ray diffraction methods. In the polymer chain, oxen and dicyanamide (dca) groups both act as bridges to link Cu^II cations, illustrating the potential of oxen and dca in coordination chemistry and supramolecular polymer chemistry.
