Abstract: In the repeat unit of the title compound, [CuCl₂(C₆H₁₄N₂)], there are two chiral C atoms with an S configuration. In the crystal packing, one Cl atom plays an important role, acting as a bridge linking neighboring units, forming a polymeric one-dimensional ladder-like structure. The Cu atom has an approximately square-planar primary coordination geometry, with the bridging Cl atoms forming much longer bonds in the axial positions.
