The title compound, [Cu(C2Cl3O2)2(C3H4N2)4], was prepared by the reaction of imidazole and trichloro­acetatocopper(II). The CuII atom adopts a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry, binding the N atoms of four imidazole ligands and the carboxyl­ate O atoms of two trichloro­acetate anions. The mol­ecular structure and packing are stabilized by N—H...O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. Close inter­molecular Cl...Cl contacts [3.498 (3) Å] are also found in the structure.
