catena-Poly[[(5,5,7,12,12,14-hexa-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-deca-1,7-diene)copper(II)]-μ-chlorido-[dichloro-cuprate(II)]-μ-chlorido].
In the title compound, [Cu₂Cl₄(C₁₆H₃₂N₄)](n), the central Cu(II) anion of the macrocyclic complex cation is weakly linked to two Cl atoms of the tetrachloridocuprate anion with Cu-Cl distances of 3.008 (3) and 3.220 (3) Å, respectively, forming a chain parallel to [10-1]. The geometry of the Cu-macrocyclic complex is distorted octa-hedral with the bridging Cl atoms occupying the axial position at an angle of 173.44 (7)° about the central Cu(II) atom. The tetrachloridocuprate anion adopts a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. In the crystal, the chain is stabilized by intra- and inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
