Crystal structure of the monoclinic phase (phase IV) of bis-(tetra-methyl-ammonium) tetra-chlorido-cuprate(II).
The crystal structure of the low-temperature monoclinic phase of the title compound, [(CH3)4N]2[CuCl4], was determined at 120 K. The structure of the room-temperature phase has been determined in the ortho-rhom-bic space groupPmcm[Morosin & Lingafelter (1961 ▸).J. Phys. Chem.50-51; Clayet al.(1975 ▸).Acta Cryst.B31289-290]. The asymmetric unit consists of one discrete tetra-chlorido-cuprate anion with a distorted tetra-hedral geometry and two tetra-methyl-ammonium cations. In the crystal, the cations and the anions are linkedviaweak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
