In the title coordination compound, [Cu(NCS)(C9H7N)(C18H15P)]n, the CuI atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by one N atom from an isoquinoline ligand, one P atom from a triphenylphospane ligand, and one N and one S atom from two thiocyanate anions. The thiocyanide anions bridge the CuI atoms into a chain along [100]. π–π interactions between the pyridine and benzene rings of the isoquinoline ligands connect the chains [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.722 (3) Å].
