Although mononuclear complexes were mainly obtained from Cu 2+ ion and phenyl-, ethyl-or benzyl-substituted thiazolo-1,2,4-triazine derivatives, unique metastable orangeyellow crystals [CuCl 2 (3a)] n (5a; Cu/3a = 1:1) with the phenyl-substituted derivative 3a were obtained as a 1D coordination polymer through bis(μ-chloro) linkages in a 2-propanol solution. The crystals show dynamic and irreversible structural transformation into blue crystals of [CuCl 2 (3a) 2 ] (6a; Cu/3a = 1:2) not only in solution but also in vapor conditions. As 5a and 6a are ferromagnetic and paramagnetic, respectively, the transformation of 5a was monitored by magnetic susceptibility measurements in the solid state, and χT
