The title compound, (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>8</sub>N)<sub>2</sub>[CuCl<sub>4</sub>], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group <i>I</i>2/<i>c</i>. The coordination around the copper atom is a distorted tetra-hedron. The 2-methyl-pyridinium ion (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>8</sub>N<sup>+</sup>) inter-acts with the tetra-chloro-cuprate anion through N-H⋯Cl and C-H(phen-yl)⋯Cl contacts, forming a hydrogen-bonded layer-like structure. The supra-molecular structure is further stabilized by C-H(meth-yl)⋯Cl inter- ...[more]
