Abstract: In the title complex, [Cu₂Cl₄(C₁₇H₂₂N₂)₂], the Cu^II cation is coordinated by a N,N'-dibenzylpropane-1,2-diamine ligand and two Cl^- anions, and a Cl^- anion from an adjacent molecule further bridges to the Cu^II cation in the apical position, with a longer Cu-Cl distance of 2.9858 (18) Å, forming a centrosymmetric dimeric complex in which each Cu^II cation is in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. Intramolecular N-HCl hydrogen bonding is observed in the dimeric complex.
