Di-chlorido-bis-[1-(2,4,6-tri-methyl-phen-yl)-1H-imidazole-κN (3)]copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [CuCl2(C12H14N2)2], the Cu(2+) cation is situated on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two N atoms from symmetry-related 1-mesityl-1H-imidazole ligands and by two chloride anions in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. In the organic ligand, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring of the mesityl moiety and the imidazole ring is 76.99 (18)°. Weak intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions consolidate the mol-ecular conformation.
