Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [CuCl₂(C₁₀H₂₂N₂)], the Cu^II atom adopts a distorted square-planar geometry, the basal plane of which is formed by two N atoms from the cyclohexanediamine ligand, with Cu-N distances of 2.052  (7)  Å, and two Cl atoms with Cu-Cl distances of 2.247  (2)  Å. A twofold axis of symmetry passes through the Cu atom, such that all other atoms are symmetry-related in pairs. The torsion angle of C-N-Cu-Cl is 174.9  (3)°. The cyclohexane ring is in a chair form.
