Di-μ-chlorido-bis{[(3,4-η)-2,5-dimethylhex-3-yne-2,5-diol]copper(I)}

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu2Cl2(C8H14O2)2], exhibits a non-planar four-membered Cu2Cl2 ring, with one alkyne ligand coordinated to each Cu atom. Due to the presence of the Cl bridges as potential hydrogen-bond acceptor sites, one of the hydroxy substituents is engaged in an intra­molecular hydrogen bond, whereas the remaining three OH groups form inter­molecular inter­actions which sustain the supra­molecular structure.
