title: Bis(mu-phenyl 2-pyridyl ketone N4,N4-butane-1,4-diylthiosemicarbazonato)bis[chlorocopper(II)].
abstract: The title compound, [Cu2(C17H17N4S)2Cl2], exhibits a dimeric structure related by a centre of symmetry. The monomers are linked to each other by the longest Cu-S apical distance observed to date among Cu(II) square-pyramidal complexes of N4-substituted thiosemicarbazones. Each Cu(II) atom deviates from the coordination square plane, which contains the pyridyl and imine N atoms, the thiolate S atom and the Cl- anion, towards the S atom of the adjacent monomer. The dimers pack in a zigzag manner through the crystal.
