μ-N (1),N (2)-Bis(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine-1,2-dicarbothio-amidato]bis-[chlorido-copper(II).

The binuclear title compound, [Cu2(C12H10N6S2)Cl2], possesses twofold rotational symmetry. The Cu(II) atom occupies a four-coordinate pseudo-tetra-hedral environment bound to one S atom, one imine N atom and one pyridine N atom from the N(1),N(2)-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine-1,2-dicarbo-thio-amidate ligand, and one Cl(-) anion. The metal atoms are connected via the bis-tridentate ligand into a binuclear structure. The mol-ecule is bow-shaped with the pyridine rings inclined to one another by 51.56 (14)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of ribbons propagating along [001]. These ribbons are connected via C-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯S and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6146 (19) Å], leading to the formation of a three-dimensional structure.
