Abstract
In the centrosymmetric dinuclear CuII title complex, [Cu2(C18H16Cl4N2O2)2], the CuII atom adopts a square-pyramidal geometry with a tetradentate ligand in the basal plane. The apical site is occupied by a phenolate O atom from an adjacent ligand, forming a dimer. The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
