Abstract
The reaction of copper(II) chloride with pyridine-2-thiol affords the title complex, [Cu<inf>2</inf>Cl<inf>2</inf>(C<inf>10</inf>H<inf>8</inf>N <inf>2</inf>S)<inf>2</inf>]<inf>n</inf>, in which two pyridine-2-thiol molecules have reacted to give a betain ligand and the copper centre has undergone reduction. The copper metal centre exhibits a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry with bridging chloride and 1-(2-pyridyl)pyridinium-2-thiolate ligands, giving centrosymmetric dimers further linked into a polymeric chain. © 2006 International Union of Crystallography.
