3N1,N1',N1'']copper(II)} [cuprate(I)-di-
2-thiocyanato-
2N:S;
2S:N]]Abstract: The title compound, {[Cu(C20H14N4)2][Cu2(NCS)4]}n, was obtained by reacting copper acetate hydrate, ammonium thiocyanate and 4'-(3-pyridyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (3-pytpy) under solvothermal conditions. The polymeric complex is isostructural with the 4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (phtpy) analogue. All intramolecular distances and angles are very similar for the two structures. Substitution of a phenyl group with a pyridyl group has no significant effect on the crystal packing which is accomplished by C-H
N and C-H
S hydrogen-bonding interactions.
