Bis(2-methylpyridinium) tetrachloridocuprate(II): synthesis, structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The structure of bis(2-methylpyridinium) tetrachlorocuprate(II) is characterized by layers formed by [C6H8N]+ and [CuCl4]2– connected through N—H⋯Cl and C—H(phenyl)⋯Cl interactions. The layers are further connected by C—H(methyl)⋯Cl interactions. The title compound, (C6H8N)2[CuCl4], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I2/c. The coordination around the copper atom is a distorted tetrahedron. The 2-methylpyridinium ion (C6H8N+) interacts with the tetrachlorocuprate anion through N—H⋯Cl and C—H(phenyl)⋯Cl contacts, forming a hydrogen-bonded layer-like structure. The supramolecular structure is further stabilized by C—H(methyl)⋯Cl interactions between the layers.
