Abstract

A new mixed-valence coordination polymer [Cu3(SCN)4(DMSO)2]n (SCN = thiocyanato and DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide) was prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The in situ formation of thiocyanate during the synthesis induces reduction of a part of Cu(II) to Cu(I). The three-dimensional structure of the binuclear thiocyanato bridged compound provided an example of pseudohalide materials containing two different environments for both copper centers.
