title: Tetra-μ-acetato-κO:O'-bis-[(2-amino-3,5-dichloro-pyridine-κN)copper(II)](Cu-Cu).
abstract: The title binuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu(2)(CH(3)CO(2))(4)(C(5)H(4)Cl(2)N(2))(2)], is disposed about a crystallographic inversion center, located at the mid-point of the Cu-Cu connecting line. The Cu⋯Cu distance is 2.6600 (6) Å and each metal atom exhibits a Jahn-Teller-distorted octa-hedral geometry.
