The structure of the title compound octa-μ-chloro-1:2κ4Cl, 2:3κ4Cl, 3:4κ4Cl, 4:5κ4Cl-dichloro-1κCl,5κCl- bis(propanol)-1κO, 5κO-pentacopper(II), consists of planar bibridged pentameric Cu5Cl10L2 (L = n-propanol) units. Each Cu2+ ion assumes an approximate square-planar coordination geometry, with Cu—Cl distances ranging between 2.258 (2) and 2.297 (3) Å. The oligomers form stacks parallel to b through the formation of longer semicoordinate bonds which range in length from 2.687 (2) to 3.158 (3) Å. The stacking pattern leaves one semicoordinate site vacant on the Cu(3) atom. The stacks then aggregate into sheets lying parallel to the (
01) planes through the formation of semicoordinate Cu(3)—Cl(5) bonds of 2.681 (2) Å. The n-propyl groups separate these sheets. Large atomic displacements of the C atoms [particularly for atoms C(2) and C(3)] indicate substantial disorder of the propyl group.
