Crystal structure of poly[(μ3-thio-cyanato-κ(3) N:S:S)(tri-methyl-phosphine sulfide-κS)copper(I)].

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Cu(NCS)(C3H9PS)] n , the thio-cyanate ions bind the Cu(I) atoms covalently, forming infinite -Cu-SCN-Cu- chains parallel to the a axis. Each Cu(I) atom is also coordinated to a tri-methyl-phosphine sulfide group via a Cu-S bond. Two crystallographically independent chains propagate in opposite directions, and are held together in a ribbon arrangement by long bonds between Cu(I) atoms in the first chain and thio-cyanate S atoms in the second, with Cu-S = 2.621 (1) Å. The geometry around the Cu(I) atoms in the first chain is distorted tetra-hedral, with angles involving the long Cu-S bond much less than ideal, and the S-Cu-N angle between the phosphine sulfide S atom and the thio-cyanate N atom opening out to 133.19 (9)°. Each Cu(I) atom in the second chain appears to
