The reaction of the unexpectedly formed ligand 2-(2'-pyridyl)quinoxali
ne (L) With CuCl2 in ethanol, followed by recrystallization from metha
nol, yields the dinuclear copper (II) complex [Cu2Cl4L2]. The crystal
structure of this compound shows a bidentate chelating behaviour of L
and different (terminal, asymmetric bridging) chloride coordination mo
des. Some properties of the dimer are also described.
