Abstract

In the article by Li et al. [Acta Cryst. (2007), E63, m2536], four imidazole H atoms are missing in the refinement.<!?tpb=20pt>


The structure of chlorido­tetra­kis­(imidazole)­copper(II) chlo­ride, reported in the article by Li et al. (2007), has been rerefined to include four missing imidazole H atoms. The crystal was twinned by pseudomerohedry, which was dealt with using standard SHELXL methods (TWIN and BASF commands). The revised crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1 and the revised chemical drawing is shown in Fig. 1.<!?tpb=-40pt>

Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refined as a two-component twin.
