A new mixed-valence coordination polymer [Cu{sub 3}(SCN){sub 4}(DMSO){sub 2}]{sub n} (SCN{sup –} = thiocyanato and DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide) was prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The in situ formation of thiocyanate during the synthesis induces reduction of a part of Cu(II) to Cu(I). The three-dimensional structure of the binuclear thiocyanato bridged compound provided an example of pseudohalide materials containing two different environments for both copper centers.
