Abstract: The title compound, (C₈H₁₀NO)₂[CuCl₄], crystallizes with one 4-acetylanilinium cation and one half of a tetrachlorocuprate(II) anion in the asymmetric unit as the anion lies about a mirror plane with the Cu atom and two Cl^- ligands lying in the mirror plane. The geometry around the copper(II) ion is that of a discrete flattened tetrahedron. The cations are connected through N-HO hydrogen bonds leading to a lamellar structure parallel to the ab plane. These sheets are also connected through the anions by N-HCl hydrogen bonds, leading to a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.
