metal-organic compounds
The title complex, [CuCl2(C10H9N3)], is a monomer, with the Cu atom in a rather distorted tetrahedral environment provided by two Cl- ions and two N atoms from the bidentate bipyridine derivative. The group is bisected by a twofold axis passing through the cation and the amine N atom bridging the symmetry-related pyridine groups. The deformation of the coordination tetrahedron is due to the Cl- ion taking part in intramolecular interactions.
