Bis[4-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenylimino-N,O:O)-2-penten-2-olato(2-)-O]dicopper(II)

In the title complex, [Cu₂(C₁₁H₁₀ClNO₂)₂], the Cu atoms have two phenolic oxygen bridges to form centrosymmetric Cu dimers. The coordination around Cu is distorted square planar with an average Cu-O distance of 1.921 (5) and a Cu-N distance of 1.910 (5) Å. Two additional O atoms belonging to adjacent dimers at distances of 2.986 (6) and 3.139 (6) Å complete the distorted octahedron about copper.
