In the title salt, (C<sub>7</sub>H<sub>7</sub>N<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>[CuCl<sub>4</sub>]·2H<sub>2</sub>O, the Cu<sup>2+</sup> cation is coordinated by four Cl atoms and adopts a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. Two mol-ecules of imidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridine are protonated ensuring electrical neutrality. O-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the organic and the inorganic moieties, leading to a self-organized hydrated hybrid structure. ...[more]
