Abstract: The title Cu^I coordination polymer, [Cu₂Cl₂(C₃₀H₂₈N₆)]_n, was obtained by reaction of CuCl₂·2H₂O and 1,4-bis[1-(3-pyridylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]butane. Each Cu^I cation is three-coordinated by a ClN₂ donor set. The anion acts as a tetradentate ligand, linking Cu^I centres into a polymeric chain.
