Abstract: In the cyrstal structure of the title compound, [Cu(NCS)(C₁₈H₂₀N₂O₂)]_n, the Cu^I atom is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two imino N atoms from a bidentate chelating Schiff base ligand, and one N and one S atoms from two thiocyanate anions. The thiocyanate anion bridges the Cu^I atoms, forming a zigzag chain along [101]. The Schiff base ligand adopts an E,E configuration and the dihedral angle between the terminal benzene rings is 53.68 (8)°.
