Abstract
The binuclear title complex, [Cu2Cl4(C14H14N2)2], is located on a crystallographic inversion centre. The CuII ion is in a distorted square-pyramid coordination environment formed by the bichelating N-heterocyclic ligand, two bridging Cl atoms and one terminal Cl atom. One of the bridging Cu—Cl bonds is significantly longer than the other.
