In the title coordination polymer, [Cu(NCS)(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cu(II) atom is situated on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two N atoms from the bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four thio-cyanate groups to confer a CuN(4)S(2) octa-hedral geometry and resulting in a layer structure extending parallel to (100).

Cynefin (pronounced cun-ev-in) 'is a Welsh word with no direct equivalent in English. As a noun it is translated as habitat, as an adjective acquainted or familiar. More poetically, it describes "that relationship: the place of your birth and of your upbringing, the environment in which you live and to which you are naturally acclimatised.' Cognitive Edge 2006).

In the title complex, [Cu(NCS)(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cu(I) ion is in a distorted tetra-hedral CuN(3)S coordination geometry. The thio-cyanate ligand acts as bridging ligand, forming chains along [100]. A crystallographic mirror plane runs through the Cu(I) ion, the thio-cyanate ligand and the middle of the phenanthroline ligand.

In the title complex, [Cu(C(12)H(15)Cl(2)N(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by one N,O-bidentate and one N,N',O-tridentate Schiff base ligand, resulting in a distorted CuN(3)O(2) square-based pyramidal coordination for the metal ion, with the O atoms lying trans to each other in the basal plane.
