A neutral 2-D (CuSCN)∞ containing both regular and irregular [Cu3(SCN)3] six-membered rings supported by an asymmetrical tridentate ligand 3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole (Hbppz) were prepared with the formula [Cu3(SCN)3(Hbppz)] ∞. The compound gives strong green luminescence with an emission maximum...
