The crystal structure of bis-[μ-(1,3-dimesityl-1<i>H</i>-imidazol-3-ium-2-yl)methano-lato-κ<sup>2</sup><i>O</i>:<i>O</i>]bis-[di-chlorido-copper(II)], [Cu<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>4</sub>(C<sub>22</sub>H<sub>26</sub>N<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>], is reported. The complex is assumed to have formed <i>via</i> the insertion of formaldehyde into the copper-carbon bond in an N-heterocyclic carbene complex of copper(I) chloride. The structure of the binuclear mol-ecule possesses a crystallographic-ally centro ...[more]
