title: Bis(2-chloro-benzoato-κO)bis-(1-vinyl-imidazole-κN)copper(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C(7)H(4)ClO(2))(2)(C(5)H(6)N(2))(2)], each Cu(II) ion, located on an inversion center, has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry formed by two 1-vinyl-imidazole mol-ecules [Cu-N = 1.954 (6) Å] and two 2-chloro-benzoate anions [Cu-O = 1.958 (6) Å]. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds contribute to the crystal packing stability.
