title: Di-μ-chlorido-bis-{[2-(2-pyridylmethyl-amino)ethanesulfonato-κN,N',O]copper(II)}.
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(8)H(11)N(2)O(3)S)(2)Cl(2)], the Cu atoms are five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by three donor atoms of the deprotonated anionic 2-(2-pyridylmethyl-amino)ethanesulfonate (pmt) ligand and two Cl atoms. The Cl atoms bridge two Cu atoms, giving a binuclear structure; the centroid of the Cu(2)Cl(2) ring lies on a crystallographic center of inversion. The complex is stabilized by hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions [average inter-planar distance = 3.4969 (1) Å and ring-centroid separation distance = 4.1068 (4) Å].
