title: Bis{μ-4-chloro-2-[(2-pyridyleth-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolato}bis-[chloridocopper(II)].
abstract: The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(14)H(12)ClN(2)O)(2)Cl(2)], is a copper(II) dimer where the metal centres are bridged by O atoms from a 5-chloro-salicylaldehyde group. The coordination geometry of each copper(II) centre is distorted square-pyramidal, with two N atoms from a 2-ethyl-amino-pyridine group and two O atoms from a 5-chloro-salicylaldehyde group occupying the basal positions, and with a Cl atom at the apical position. The dimer is centrosymmetric, with a crystallographic inversion centre midway between the two Cu atoms [Cu⋯Cu = 3.103 (9) Å].
