[μ-N,N,N′,N′-Tetra­kis­(2-pyridyl­meth­yl)pentane-1,5-diamine]­bis­[dichlorido­copper(II)] sesquihydrate

In the title dinuclear copper complex, [Cu(2)Cl(4)(C(29)H(34)N(6))]·1.5H(2)O, both Cu(II) ions are coordinated in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment in which the N atoms of the dipicolyl­amine group and a chloride ligand form the basal plane. The apical position is occupied by a second chloride atom. The Cu—N distances involving the pyridine N atoms differ slightly from each other and the Cu—N distance involving the tertiary N atom is the longest. The apical Cu—Cl distance is elongated compared to its basal counterpart due to typical Jahn–Teller distortion. In the crystal structure, complex and water mol­ecules are linked via inter­molecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into chains along [001]. One of the water mol­ecules was refined with half occupancy.
