Abstract: In the title salt, [Cu(NCS)(C₆H₆N₄)₂]Cl, the Cu^II atom adopts a five-coordinated square-pyramidal geometry consisting of an N atom from a thiocyanate anion and four N atoms from two chealting biimidazole ligands. The thiocyanate ligand occupies the axial position and is, like the Cu^II centre, located on a mirror plane. The cation and anion are linked into a linear chain by N-HS and N-HCl hydrogen bonds.
