Poly[μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ(2) N:N′-μ-thio­cyanato-κ(2) N:S-copper(I)]

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(NCS)(C(10)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cu(I) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two symmetry-related 4,4′-bipyridine (bipy) ligands and one N and one S atom from two symmetry-related thio­cyanate ligands in a distorted tetra­hedral environment. The thio­cyanate ligands bridge the Cu(I) atoms into a zigzag [CuSCN](n) chain running parallel to the a axis. These chains are further connected through two bipy ligands that bridge the Cu(I) centers to generate a two-dimensional brick-like network. The pyridyl planes of the ligands exhibit a dihedral angle of 37.35 (12)°.
