Abstract
The presence of the alkoxylated intermediate formed by the addition of alcohol to the cyano group has been confirmed by the isolation of the dimeric copper(II) complex [CuCl2C8N2OH10](2), in which each five coo rdinate copper atom is bound to two chlorine and two nitrogen atoms in a square planar arrangement. In addition, there are weak axial intera ctions between the copper and chlorine atoms which allow the formation of a centrosymmetric dimer in which the copper atom has a square plan ar coordination.
