Astemizole tetra­chloro­cuprate(II)

The structure of {3‐[(4‐fluoro­phenyl)­methyl]‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐ylidene}{1‐[2‐(4‐meth­oxy­phenyl)­ethyl]‐4‐piperidin‐1‐io}ammonium tetra­chloro­cuprate(II), (C₂₈H₃₃FN₄O)[CuCl₄], contains diprotonated cations of astemizole hydrogen bonded to three Cl atoms in two different CuCl₄^2? anions, with Cl?N distances in the range 3.166 (4)–3.203 (4) Å. The geometry around copper is flattened tetrahedral with significantly different Cu—Cl distances which lie in the range 2.1968 (14)–2.2861 (12) Å. The phenyl­ethyl C atoms of the (4‐methoxy­phenyl­)ethyl group are disordered indicating the presence of two conformers in the crystals.
