The crystal structure of the first bidimensional copper(II) compound containing only thiocyanate as bridging ligands [Cu(bpy)(NCS) 2 ] n , where bpy=2,2'-bipyridyl, has been determined by X-ray diffraction on single-crystals. Two different environments for both types of copper(II) ions in the unit cell are apparent: a distorted octahedron and a square pyramid. A bidimensional structure with a deformed honeycomb-layer motif is formed, the bipyridyl ligands filling the interlayer space. The magnetic susceptibility data of the compound have been investigated between 280 and 1.8 K. The compound presents a very weak antiferromagnetic interaction that has been fitted by using the Bleaney-Bowers expression for a dimeric unit, whereby a J value of -1.01(1) cm - 1 (H=-JS 1 .S 2 ) and a g value of 2.08(1) have been obtained.
