The molecular structure of the title compound, [CuCl(C7H12N2S)2], shows a slightly distorted trigonal–planar coordination geometry of the Cu atom. The Cu—Cl bond measures 2.2287 (9) Å, and the two Cu—S bonds are significantly different from each other, with values of 2.2270 (10) and 2.2662 (10) Å. Also, the S—Cu—Cl angles differ, with values of 113.80 (4) and 124.42 (4)°, while the S—Cu—S angle is 121.51 (4)°. The two imidazole rings are almost parallel, making a dihedral angle of 2.1 (2)°. In the crystal, the shortest C—H⋯Cl interactions stabilize a three-dimensional network with molecules linked into centrosymmetric dimers that are stacked along the b-axis direction.
Keywords: crystal structure; trigonal coordination; copper; imidazole.

To a solution of 1,3,4,5-tetra-methylimidazoline-2-thione (0.390 mg, 2.75 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 ml) CuCl2 (0.168 mg, 1.25 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. Afterwards the solvent was removed under vacuum. White crystals were obtained from diffusion of diethyl ether into acetonitrile.
Hydrogen atoms were clearly identified in difference syntheses, refined at idealized positions riding on the carbon atoms with isotropic displacement parameters Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(–CH3) and C–H = 0.98 Å. All CH3 hydrogen atoms were allowed to rotate but not to tip.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

We are interested in the chemistry of N,N-dimethylimidazole-thione derivatives due to their ability to act as effective antioxidants (Bhabak et al., 2010; Yamashita et al., 2010). Here we report the synthesis of a copper(I) chloride complex with 1,3,4,5-tetra-methylimidazole-2-thione ligands.
The title compound shows the same trans configuration as the bis-N,N'-dimethylimidazole-thione-Cu(I) compound (Kimani et al., 2011) or bis-N,N'-dimethylimidazolidine-thione-CuCl (Devillanova et al., 1980) whereas the cis configuration is also known for bis-N,N'-dimethylimidazole-thione-CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) (Kimani et al., 2011). In contrast to all the reported complexes in the title compound both Cu and Cl atoms lie on general positions and the two Cu—S bond lengths differ strongly with Cu–S1 2.2662 (10) and Cu–S2 2.2270 (10) Å. Also the S—Cu—Cl angles differ with 113.80 (4)° and 124.41 (4)°, while the S—Cu—S angle is 121.51 (4)°.
The intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the chlorine atom and hydrogen atoms of the methyl group amount to 4.838 (H2b—Cl) and 4.911 Å(H9a—Cl).
