In the title compound, [CuCl2(C15H26N2)], the bulky fused rings of the sparteine ligand induce a pseudotetrahedral environment around the copper(II) atom. All four alkaloid rings adopt the chair conformation, with one terminal ring inclined endo (pointing towards the metal atom), and the other inclined exo (pointing away from the metal). Main dimensions of the complex include Cu-N 2.003 (3), 2.021 (3); Cu-Cl 2.238 (1), 2.258 (1) Å; N-Cu-N 90.5 (2), Cl-Cu-Cl 106.92 (6)°.
