Binuclear copper(II) complex with 2-imidazolylbenzothiazole and bridged chloride ligands

Dimeric chloro-bridged copper(II) complex of L₂Cu₂Cl₄ composition [L stands for 2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-1,3-benzothiazole ligand] was obtained from CuCl₂·2H₂O and ligand L in ethanol. According to X-ray diffraction studies, the complex is a dimer with two bridged chloride ligands and two chloride ions coordinated with only copper atom. Cyclic voltammetry demonstrated the stability of dimeric structure of the complex in DMF solution.
