The title compound, [Cu2Cl4(C20H18N2O)2], is a centrosymmetric dimer bridged through the Cl atoms. The bridging Cu2Cl2 unit is planar and each CuII ion has two different distances to the bridging Cl atom. The CuII ions are coordinated to three Cl and two N atoms in a square‐pyramidal disposition. Hydrogen bonds are formed by –OH and –NH with the Cl atoms.
The title compounds, C20H16ClNO and C21H19NO2, adopt syn orientations of the C=O and N-H bonds but, like their analogues, form no strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
