Summary: | The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu2Cl4(C15H14N4)2], contains two halves of two centrosymmetric dinuclear molecules, A and B. The conformations of the two crystallographically independent molecules are slightly different: in A, the Cu...Cu separation is 4.174 (9) Å and the dihedral angle between the triazole and phenyl rings is 74.23 (11)°; these values are 4.137 (9) Å and 68.58 (13)°, respectively, in B. In each molecule, the copper(II) ions have a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry with a CuCl2NN′N′′ chromophore. The crystal packing exhibits weak intermolecular C—H...Cl interactions.
