L.-H. Wang and L.-Z. Li

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(NCS)₂(C₆H₁₆N₂)]_n, is a thiocyanate-bridged polynuclear copper(II) complex. The Cu^II atom is five-coordinate in a square-pyramidal geometry, with two N atoms of the N,N-diethylethane-1,2-diamine ligand and two N atoms from two thiocyanate ligands defining the basal plane, and one S atom of another thiocyanate ligand occupying the apical position. The [Cu(NCS)₂(C₆H₁₆N₂)] units are linked by bridging thiocyanate ligands, forming chains running along the a axis.
