Abstract:
The title compound, [Cu2Cl4(C7H8N2O)2], crystallizes as discrete [CuLCl2]2 (L = 2-amino-benzamide) dimers with inversion symmetry. Each Cu(II) ion is five-coordinated and is bound to two bridging chloride ligands, a terminal chloride ligand and a bidentate 2-amino-benzamide ligand. The crystal structure exhibits alternating layers parallel to (010) along the b-axis direction. In the crystal, the components are linked via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. These inter-actions link the mol-ecules within the layers and also link the layers together and reinforce the cohesion of the structure.
