TL;DR: The crystal structure of a three-dimensional anionic CuICN network with noncoordinated protonated N-methylethanolamine cations providing charge neutrality was reported in this paper.
Abstract: The crystal structure is reported of a three-dimensional anionic CuICN network with noncoordinated protonated N-methylethanolamine cations providing charge neutrality. Pairs of cuprophilic Cu atoms are bridged by μ3-cyanide groups which link these units into 43 spirals along the c axis, and these are linked together by other cyanide groups. On heating the compound to 280 °C, a CuCN residue is formed, while further heating leaves a residue of elemental copper, isolated as the oxide.
