Abstract
Low temperature crystallography (150 K) has been used to confirm that the t wo extreme [Cu(chelate)(2)Cl][Y] stereochemistries of 3 [Cu(bipy)(2)Cl][PF6 ]. H2O, trigonal bipyramidal and 6 [Cu(phen)(2)Cl][BPh4], trigonal bipyrami dal distorted square based pyramidal, are genuine and static stereochemistr ies of the copper(II) ion.
