Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu₃(C₁₂H₇N₂O)₂Cl₂]_n, the mixed-valence Cu^I/Cu^II cation and the cuprate(I) anion both lie on centres of inversion. The O atom of one half of the planar N,N'-chelated dinuclear copper cation binds to the Cu atom of the other half; the geometry around the metal atom is square-planar, owing to the symmetry-related metal atom at a distance of 2.3945 (5) Å. The dinuclear cations are bridged through the anions to form an infinite linear chain.
