B.-L. Yuan, H.-C. Lan, Y.-P. Chen and Y.-B. Li

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, (C₃H₁₀NO₂)₂[CuCl₄], consists of parallel two-dimensional perovskite-type layers of corner-sharing CuCl₆ octahedra which are bonded together by 4-aminobutyric acid chains nearly perpendicular to the layers. The Cu atoms lie on crystallographic centers of symmetry. The layers are held together by hydrogen bonds between the 4-aminobutyric acid molecules, which are also hydrogen-bonded to CuCl₄ layers.
