Doxylaminium tetrachlorocuprate(II).
The structure of the title compound, 2-[1-(dimethylammonioethoxy)-1-phenylethyl]pyridinium tetrachlorocuprate(II), (C(17)H(24)N(2)O)[CuCl(4)], contains dihydro cations of doxylamine hydrogen bonded to two Cl atoms in two different [CuCl(4)](2-) anions, with Cl...N distances of 3.101 (9) and 3.253 (10) A. The ethereal O atom is involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonds, with O.N distances of 2.517 (11) and 2.757 (12) A. The molecular dimensions in the cation are as expected and the [CuCl(4)](2-) anion has a flattened tetrahedral geometry.
