The title compound, [Cu(NCS)(C
16H
12N
2)]
n, was synthesised under hydrothermal conditions. The Cu
I ion shows distorted tetrahedral geometry being coordinated by two N atoms from a 5-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand and by the N and S atoms from two different thiocyanate anions. The Cu
I ions are bridged by thiocyanide groups, forming a one-dimensional coordination polymer along the
b axis. The crystal packing is through van der Waals contacts and C—H

π interactions.

A mixture of Cu(Ac)2 (0.086 g, 0.64 mmol), 5-ph-2,2'-bpy (0.0231 g, 0.1 mmol),
KSCN (0.059 g, 0.6 mmol), and water (8 mL) was added to a 15-mL Teflon-lined
autoclave and heated at 443 K for 3 d. The autoclave was then cooled to room
temperature. Red block crystals of (I) deposited on the wall of container were
collected and air-dried.
Hydrogen atoms bound to carbon were placed in calculated positions and refined
using a riding model with an isotropic displacement parameter fixed at 1.2
times Ueq for the atom to which they are attached.

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.
planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor
wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional
R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for
negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 >
σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc.
and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.
R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large
as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be
even larger. |

The title compound [Cu(SCN)(5-ph-2,2'-bpy)]n(I), was synthesised under hydrothermal conditions. In the complex, the CuI ion shows distorted tetrahedral geometry coordinated by two N atoms from a 5-ph-2,2,-bpy ligand, N and S atoms from the different thiocyanate anions (Fig.1 and Table 1). The CuIions are bridged by thiocyanide groups to form a one-dimensional coordination polymeric along the b axis (Fig. 2). Crystal packing is through van der Waals contacts and C-H···π interaction [C17-H···Cg(C12→C17)symmetry operation: 1/2+x,3/2-y,1-z with geometric parameters H···Cg of 2.92 Å, C17···Cg of 3.757 (3) Å, and C17-H···Cg of 150 °].
