Abstract: The title compound, (C₈H₂₂N₂)[CuCl₄], is composed of one N,N,N',N'-tetramethylbutane-1,4-diammonium cation and a tetrachlorocuprate(II) anion. The anion is mononuclear and has a flattened tetrahedral geometry. In the cation, the dimethylamino substituents are trans with respect to the central C-C bond of the butane. In the crystal structure, the anions and cations are linked by N-HCl hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a axis.
