Popis: The structure of bis­(2-methyl­pyridinium) tetra­chloro­cuprate(II) is characterized by layers formed by [C6H8N]+ and [CuCl4]2– connected through N—H⋯Cl and C—H(phen­yl)⋯Cl inter­actions. The layers are further connected by C—H(meth­yl)⋯Cl inter­actions.
The title compound, (C6H8N)2[CuCl4], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I2/c. The coordination around the copper atom is a distorted tetra­hedron. The 2-methyl­pyridinium ion (C6H8N+) inter­acts with the tetra­chloro­cuprate anion through N—H⋯Cl and C—H(phen­yl)⋯Cl contacts, forming a hydrogen-bonded layer-like structure. The supra­molecular structure is further stabilized by C—H(meth­yl)⋯Cl inter­actions between the layers.
