Poly[μ‐2‐aminopyrazine‐κ2N1:N4‐μ‐cyanido‐copper(I)]: a three‐dimensional network from laboratory powder diffraction data

In the title compound, Cu(CN)(C₄H₅N₃)]_n or Cu(μ‐CN)(μ‐PyzNH₂)]_n (PyzNH₂ is 2‐aminopyrazine), the Cu^I center is tetrahedrally coordinated by two cyanide and two PyzNH₂ ligands. The Cu^I–cyano links give rise to Cu–CN]_∞ chains running along the c axis, which are bridged by bidentate PyzNH₂ ligands. The three‐dimensional framework can be described as being formed by two interpenetrated three‐dimensional honeycomb‐like networks, both made of 26‐membered rings of composition Cu₆(μ‐CN)₂(μ‐PyzNH₂)₄].
