Abstract
The structure of the title compound, (C10H10N2)[Cu2Cl6], previously determi ned by Bukowska-Strzyzewska & Tosik [Pol. J. Chem. (1979), 53, 2423-2428], has been reinvestigated. Our structure determination is of a significantly higher precision and, in contrast to the previous investigation, H atoms co uld be clearly found. Thus, it can be shown that the chains of alternating bipyridylium cations and Cu2Cl62- anions are stabilized by bifurcated hydro gen bonds. The cation and anion both lie on inversion centres.
