Bis(2,2'-bi-1H-imidazole-κN,N)(thio-cyanato-κN)copper(II) chloride.

ABSTRACT: In the title salt, [Cu(NCS)(C(6)H(6)N(4))(2)]Cl, the Cu(II) atom adopts a five-coordinated square-pyramidal geometry consisting of an N atom from a thio-cyanate anion and four N atoms from two chealting biimidazole ligands. The thio-cyanate ligand occupies the axial position and is, like the Cu(II) centre, located on a mirror plane. The cation and anion are linked into a linear chain by N-H⋯S and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
