Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(2)Cl(4)(C(15)H(14)N(4))(2)], contains two halves of two centrosymmetric dinuclear mol-ecules, A and B. The conformations of the two crystallographically independent mol-ecules are slightly different: in A, the Cu⋯Cu separation is 4.174 (9) Å and the dihedral angle between the triazole and phenyl rings is 74.23 (11)°; these values are 4.137 (9) Å and 68.58 (13)°, respectively, in B. In each mol-ecule, the copper(II) ions have a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry with a CuCl(2)NN'N'' chromophore. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl inter-actions.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
