Bisquinolinium tetrachlorocuprate dihydrate

D. E. Lynch and I. McClenaghan

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C₉H₈N⁺·CuCl₄^2-·2H₂O, comprises one quinolinium cation, one water molecule and one-half of the CuCl₄^2- anion with the other half generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry. The water molecules are linked to the anions through O-HCl hydrogen bonds to form two-dimensional molecular networks parallel to (110). The cations are arranged between two networks in parallel stacks. The N-HO, C-HO and C-HCl intermolecular hydrogen bonds link the cations and the anion networks to form a three-dimensional network.
