D. V. Albov, D. V. Davydov and V. V. Chernyshev

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu₂(OH)₂(TMEDA)₂]Cl₂ (TMEDA is N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, C₆H₁₆N₂), has been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. The cation is a binuclear complex with a CuCu distance of 3.031  (7)  Å and occupies a special position of 222 symmetry, while the chloride anions are on a twofold axis. There is a hydrogen bond linking a bridging hydroxy group with the anion [OCl = 2.993  (14)  Å].
