Di-μ-chlorido-bis[chlorido(N,N′-dibenzylpropane-1,2-diamine-κ2N,N′)copper(II)]

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cu2Cl4(C17H22N2)2], the CuII cation is coordinated by a N,N′-dibenzylpropane-1,2-diamine ligand and two Cl− anions, and a Cl− anion from an adjacent molecule further bridges to the CuII cation in the apical position, with a longer Cu—Cl distance of 2.9858 (18) Å, forming a centrosymmetric dimeric complex in which each CuII cation is in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. Intramolecular N—H...Cl hydrogen bonding is observed in the dimeric complex.
