Di-μ-hydroxo-bis[(N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine)copper(II)] dichloride from X-ray powder data

The crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu2(OH)2(TMEDA)2]Cl2 (TMEDA is N,N,N′,N′-tetra­methyl­ethyl­ene­di­amine, C6H16N2), has been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. The cation is a binuclear complex with a Cu⋯Cu distance of 3.031 (7) A and occupies a special position of 222 symmetry, while the chloride anions are on a twofold axis. There is a hydrogen bond linking a bridging hydroxy group with the anion [O⋯Cl = 2.993 (14) A].
