In the title complex, [Cu(NCS)(C12H8N2)]n, the CuI ion is in a distorted tetrahedral CuN3S coordination geometry. The thiocyanate ligand acts as bridging ligand, forming chains along [100]. A crystallographic mirror plane runs through the CuI ion, the thiocyanate ligand and the middle of the phenanthroline ligand.
