Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu2Cl4(C36H44N4O4)(H2O)2], the dinuclear complex molecule lies on an inversion centre. Each CuII atom shows a tetragonal–pyramidal coordination geometry formed by two Cl atoms, two N atoms from the macrocyclic ligand and one water molecule. The coordinated water molecules are hydrogen-bonded to the Cl atoms in adjacent molecules, generating a one-dimensional structure.
