The structure of the polymeric rhodanine compound Cul(HN-CO-CH/sub 2/-S-CS)/sub 2/, C/sub 6/H/sub 6/CuIN/sub 2/O/sub 2/S/sub 4/, was determined by X-rays. M /SUB r/ = 456.8, monoclinic, space group P2/sub 1//c, a = 4.1947(7), b = 17.6999(12), C = 17.1048(8) A, ..beta.. = 96.15(1)/sup 0/, V /SUB c/ = 1262.6 A/sup 3/, Z = 4, D /SUB c/ = 2.40Mg m/sup -3/, Cu K..cap alpha.. radiation (graphite crystal monochromator, lambda = 1.54056 A), ..mu..(Cu K..cap alpha..) = 278.9 cm/sup -1/, F(000) = 872, T = 290 K. Final conventional R - factor = 0.029, and R /SUB w/ = 0.044 for 2384 unique reflections and 153 variables. The structure was solved using Patterson methods and DIRDIF, and refined by full-matrix least-squares methods. The compound forms zigzag chains (..-Cu-I-Cu-..) along a. The copper atom is in trigonal pyramidal coordination, with two sulfur atoms of the thiocarbonyl group and two bridging iodine atoms. The copper-sulfur distances are 2.278(1) and 2.299(1) A, and the copper-iodine distances are 2.657(1) and 2.814(1) A.
