Abstract:  An investigation of the low-temperature (148 K) influence on the crystal structure of [Cu(NH₃)₄][Cu₄(CN)₆] in which two coordination polyhedra of Cu(II) and Cu(I) are present was carried out. Decrease of the temperature has shown significant differences of the bond distances in the coordination polyhedron of Cu(II) being in good agreement with the conception of its plasticity.
