Dichloridotetra-kis-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-κN(4))copper(II).

The central Cu(II) atom of the molecular title complex, [CuCl(2)(C(2)H(3)N(3))(4)], is situated on a site with symmetry 2.22. It is six-coordinated in an elongated octa-hedral geometry, with the equatorial plane defined by four N atoms of four 1,2,4-triazole ligands and the axial positions occupied by two Cl atoms situated on a twofold axis. The mol-ecules are connected via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and the crystal consists of two inter-penetrating three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded frameworks.
