Abstract: In the title compound, [CuCl(C₁₄H₈N₄)]_n, the central Cu^I ion displays a distorted tetrahedral geometry, coordinated by two Cl^- ions and two N atoms from a bidentate pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline (PyPhen) ligand. Each Cl^- ion bridges two Cu^I atoms, forming a zigzag chain structure. Cu and Cl have site symmetry 2; the complete PyPhen molecule is generated by twofold symmetry.
