%X In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(NCS)(C10H8N2)]n, the CuI atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two symmetry-related 4,4¡ä-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 CuI 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 CuI centers to generate a two-dimensional brick-like network. The pyridyl planes of the ligands exhibit a dihedral angle of 37.35 (12)¡ã.
