Abstract: The title crystal structure, [Cu(NCS)₂(C₇H₈N₄)₂]_n, comprises one-dimensional chains propagating in the a-axis direction. The Cu^II atoms, which have crystallographic 2/m site symmetry, are coordinated by six N atoms from four 1,1'-methylenedi-1H-imidazole ligands and two NCS^- anions, giving a slightly disorted octahedral coordination geometry. The 1,1'-methylenedi-1H-imidazole ligand adopts a bis-monodentate bridging mode, linking the Cu^II atoms.
