Abstract: The title compound, [Cu₂Cl₂(C₈H₁₄O₂)₂], exhibits a non-planar four-membered Cu₂Cl₂ ring, with one alkyne ligand coordinated to each Cu atom. Due to the presence of the Cl bridges as potential hydrogen-bond acceptor sites, one of the hydroxy substituents is engaged in an intramolecular hydrogen bond, whereas the remaining three OH groups form intermolecular interactions which sustain the supramolecular structure.
