The structure of the title compound, [Cu2Cl2(C9H14N2)(2)-(mu-Cl)(2)],
has been determined. The geometry about the Cu atom is square pyramida
l. The complex exists as a dimer about an inversion centre with the Cu
atoms linked by two asymmetric chlorine bridges. The dimeric structur
e of this complex differs from the polymeric dihalo-bridged chain of C
uLX(2) complexes, where L is 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine.
