title: Chloridotetra-pyridine-copper(II) dicyanamidate pyridine disolvate.
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [CuCl(C(5)H(5)N)(4)][N(CN)(2)]·2C(6)H(5)N, the copper(II) cations are coordinated by one chloride anion and four N-bonded pyridine ligands into discrete complexes. The copper(II) cation shows a square-pyramidal coordination environment, with the chloride anion in the apical position. However, there is one additional chloride anion at 3.0065 (9) Å, leading to a disorted octa-hedral coordination mode for copper. The copper(II) cation, the chloride ligand and the central N atom of the dicyanamide anion are located on twofold rotation axes. Two pyridine solvent molecules are observed in general positions.
