Abstract: The cryst. structure of the Cu(SCN)₂(NH₃)₂ complex was studied by x-ray diffraction and least sqs. refinement. The space group is Pnma, with a 13.94 ± 0.02, b 6.01 ± 0.01, and c 8.86 ± 0.01A.; R = 0.155; Z = 4. Cu(II) is plane coordinated with 2 mols. of NH₃ and 2 N atoms of the SCN group. Av. interat. distances are Cu-NH₃ 1.997 and Cu-N = 1.965A. The plane coordination of the central atom is completed by 2 S atoms at 3.028A. The SCN groups are bound to Cu(II) with S and N atoms.
