Abstract: The title complex, [CuCl₂(C₃H₆N₂O₂)₂], exists in the crystal structure as a monomer and possesses a crystallographically imposed center of symmetry. The Cu atom is coordinated by two Cl atoms [Cu-Cl = 2.7696 (3) Å] and four O atoms [Cu-O = 1.9484 (8) and 1.9769 (9) Å] from two chelating malonamide ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal structure, a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network is formed by intermolecular N-HO and N-HCl interactions.
