catena-Poly[[trans-dichlorocopper(II)-mu-1,4,7,10,13,16-hexathiacyclooctadecane-S1:S10].
In the title complex, [CuCl2(C12H24S6)]n, the CuCl2 unit and the ligand lie on and about inversion centres, respectively. The coordination geometry at CuII is a tetragonally elongated octahedron with the equatorial positions occupied by two chlorides, Cu-Cl 2.2786 (12) A, and two S donors, Cu-S 2.3710 (13) A. The apical positions of the octahedron are defined by two S donors at distances of 2.8261 (14) A from the metal. The macrocyclic ligand adopts a very puckered and distorted conformation. Eight of the 18 torsion angles are less than 90 degrees and all S-donors are oriented exo to the ring.
