Abstract: The Copper(Ⅰ) complex [Cu(tpy)(CN)]n[L=4′-(4-cyanophenyl)-2,2′∶6′,2″-terpyridine ] has been synthe-sized by reaction of ligand L with CuCN using solvothermal method and characterized by IR, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction single-crystal structure analysis. The crystal structure indicates that the complex crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a=0.884 45(18) nm, b=0.819 55(16) nm, c=2.702 90(7) nm, β=102.780(3)°, V=1.910 7(7) nm3, Z=4, Dc=1.495 g·cm-3, F(000)=864.0, R1=0.059 3, wR2=0.123 3. The Cu(Ⅰ) ion in the title complex has a slightly distorted tetrahedron coordination geometry. Each Cu+ is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from two pyridine ring of 4′-(4-cyanophenyl)-2,2′∶6′,2″-terpyridine, and then linked by two CN- ligands with neighbor Cu+ forming a zigzag infinite one-dimensional chain structure.
