-chlorido-bis[2,2'-(propane-1,3-diyl)bis(2H-benzotriazole)-
2N1,N1']copper(I)]Cupric chloride undergoes reduction in its reaction with 2,2'-(propane-1,3-diyl)bis(2H-benzotriazole) to form the centrosymmetic title compound, [Cu2Cl2(C15H14N6)2]. The organic ligand chelates the CuI atom and two adducts are linked through two chloride bridges into a dinuclear molecule. The metal atom shows tetrahedral coordination.
A methanol solution (5 ml) of 2,2'-(propane-1,3-diyl)bis(2H-benzotriazole) (Xie et al., 2000) (55.6 mg, 0.2 mmol) was added to methanol solution (5 ml) of copper(II) dichloride dihydrate (17.1 mg, 0.1 mmol). The clear solution was set aside for a week for the growth of crystals. The yellow copper(I) chloride adduct is air stable.
The carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.93 to 0.97 Å], and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

The 2,2'-(propane-1,3-diyl)bis(2H-benzotriazole) heterocycle binds to two copper(I) atoms in the 1:1 adduct with copper(I) chloride to furnish a linear chain structure. The copper atom shows tetrahedral coordination (Table 1) as is covalently bonded to one chlorine atom and datively bonded to the adjacent one (Borsting & Steel, 2004). The present compound is a 1:1 adduct but the compound exists as a monomeric dinculear molecule as the heterocycle functions instead as a bidentate chelate (Fig. 1). However, bond dimensions involving the copper atom are not significantly difference, so that the different architectures reflect the flexible nature of the ligand, which possess three methylene linkages separating the fused-rings.
