Cs 2 Cu 3 (CN) 5 has a layered structure consisting of [Cu 3 (CN) 5 ] 2− sheets stacked in an ABAB fashion along the c axis, with Cs + cations lying between the sheets. The sheets are generated by linking –(CuCN)– chains, in which the C[triple‐bond]N groups are ordered, via [Cu(CN) 3 ] 2− units. The two bridging cyanide groups of each [Cu(CN) 3 ] 2− unit show partial `head‐to‐tail' disorder of C and N, whilst the third C[triple‐bond]N group is terminal and ordered with C bonded to Cu.
