title: Tetrakis[μ3-2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethanolato]tetrakis[chloridocopper(II)].
abstract: In the title tetra-nuclear compound, [Cu4(C7H14NO)4Cl4], each Cu(II) cation is N,O-chelated by a piperidineethanolate anion and coordinated by a Cl(-) anion and two O atoms from neighboring piperidine-ethano-late anions in a distorted NO3Cl square-pyramidal geometry. The deprotonated hydroxyl groups of the piperidineethanolate anions bridge Cu(II) cations, forming the tetra-nuclear complex. All piperidine rings display a chair conformation. In the crystal, there are no significant inter-molecular inter-actions present. The crystal studied was an inversion twin refined with a minor component of 0.18 (5).
