Bis(4-fluoro-anilinium) tetra-chloridocuprate(II).

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound, (C(6)H(7)FN)(2)[CuCl(4)], consists of parallel two-dimensional perovskite-type layers of corner-sharing CuCl(6) octa-hedra. These are bonded together via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds from the 4-fluoro-anilinium chains, which are almost perpendicular to the layers. The CuCl(4) dianions have two short Cu-Cl bonds [2.2657 (15) and 2.2884 (13) Å] and two longer bonds [2.8868 (15) Å], giving highly Jahn-Teller-distorted CuCl(6) octa-hedra. The Cu atoms are situated on crystallographic centers of inversion.
