Abstract: Reactions of α- and ß-Cu(py)₂(NCS)₂ with pyridine are described. The conditions are specified under which a pair of modifications of Cu(py)₄(NCS)₂ complex is prepared by reactions of α- and ß-Cu(py)₂(NCS)₂ with pyridine as well as the conditions under which these reactions give rise to products with composition Cu(py)₄(NCS)₂ having the same physicochemical properties. The properties of prepared compounds were studied by thermal methods. Some properties of intermediate products of thermal decomposition of α- and ß-Cu(py)₄(NCS)₂ are also described. The differences between properties of prepared modifications suggest the presence of fine structural differences analogous to those observed for α- and ß-Cu(py)₂(NCS)₂.
