Catena-Poly[[chloridocopper(II)]bis(μ-3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-methylenedipyrazole)[chloridocopper(II)]-di-μ-chlorido

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu2Cl4(C11H16N4)]n, the Cu atom is coordinated by two N atoms of two 3,3′,5,5′-tetra­methyl-4,4′-methyl­enedipyrazole (H2mbdpz) ligands, two bridging Cl atoms and one terminal Cl atom, forming a square-pyramidal geometry. The bridging Cl atoms and the bridging H2mbdpz ligands connect the Cu atoms to build up an extended one-dimensional chain. The chains are further connected through N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds to build up a two-dimensional layer in the (011) plane. An inversion centre lies between every pair of adjacent Cu atoms.
