Dichlorobis(1-methylcytosine)copper(II)

The structure of dichlorobis[4-amino-1-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinone]copper(II) consists of discrete [Cu(C₅H₇N₃O)₂Cl₂] units. The coordination about the Cu^II ion is distorted 4 + 2 octahedral. The non-equivalent 1-methylcytosine ligands are bonded to the metal through N(3) and more weakly through O(2). The average N-Cu-Cl trans angle is 159.9 (1)°.
