Bis(3-methyl­pyridinium) tetra­chlorido­cuprate(II)

The title compound, (C6H8N)2[CuCl4], is composed of two 3-methyl­pyridinium cation and one tetra­chloridocuprate(II) anion. The geometry around the copper(II) ion is that of a distorted tetra­hedron. In the crystal structure, the anions and cations are linked by three different N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits aromatic π–π inter­actions between the pyridinium rings of two discrete units [centroid–centroid distance = 3.704 (2) A].
