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. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536808033175
