Copper(I) Cyanide: A Simple Compound with a Complicated Structure and Surprising Room‐Temperature Reactivity

Making Waves: Low-temperature CuCN has a curious wave structure (see picture Cu purple, C/N blue). Interconversion of this and the high-temperature, highly disordered form can be achieved at room-temperature via a novel zeolitic intermediate which is also structurally characterized.
