| Summary: | The CuCl binuclear complexes were synthesized with phenyl-1<i>H</i>-pyrazole-1-carbodithioate (<b>L<sup>1</sup></b>) and phenyl-3-methyl-1<i>H</i>-pyrazole-1-carbodithioate (<b>L<sup>2</sup></b>) ligands. The complexes were isolated as crystalline material in a reasonable quantity. The complexes were crystallized in acetonitrile (MeCN) and characterized for their single crystal, using X-ray diffraction. The two units with the general formula LCuCl are bridged together via chlorido ligands, affording (LCuCl)<sub>2-</sub>type complexes. The complexes, [Cu<sub>2</sub>(μ-Cl)<sub>2</sub>(L<sup>1</sup>)<sub>2</sub>] <b>1</b> and [Cu<sub>2</sub>(μ-Cl)<sub>2</sub>(L<sup>2</sup>)<sub>2</sub>] <b>2</b> are monoclinic and triclinic with space group <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub><i>/n</i> and <i>Pi</i>, respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by C1(p)⋯C(p) and S⋯C(p) interactions extended in 2D fashion in complex <b>1,</b> while complex <b>2</b> is stabilized by C(p)⋯S interactions extended in a 1D fashion. Structural features and secondary interactions present in both complexes discussed in this article.
