Diisothiocyanatobis(1-vinyl-1 H -imidazole-? N 3 )copper(II)

In the title compound, [Cu(NCS)(2)(C5H6N2)(2)], each Cu atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two Eim (Eim = 1-vinyl-1H-imidazole) ligands and two N atoms from two isothiocyanate groups. The Cu atom adopts a square-planar geometry. The mean Cu-N(Eim) and Cu-N(NCS) distances are 1.960 (6) and 1.993 (6) angstrom, respectively.
