title: Dichlorido[2,2'-(oxydimethyl-ene)dipyridine]copper(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [CuCl(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2)O)], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environment. In the crystal structure, there is a weak π-π stacking inter-action between symmetry-related pyridine rings, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.8134 (17) Å. In addition, there is relatively close contact between the pyridine ring π-system and a symmetry-related Cu(II) ion (Cu⋯centroid distance of 3.868 Å).
