In the title compound, Cu₂Cl₄(C₆H₁₀N₈)₂]_n, the ligand has C₂ symmetry, and the Cu and Cl atoms lie on a mirror plane. The coordination polyhedron of the Cu atom is a distorted square pyramid, with the basal positions occupied by two N atoms from two different ligands Cu—N = 2.0407 (18) Å] and by the two Cl atoms Cu—Cl = 2.2705 (8) and 2.2499 (9) Å], and the apical position occupied by a Cl atom Cu—Cl = 2.8154 (9) Å] that belongs to the basal plane of a neighbouring Cu atom. The CuCl₂(C₆H₁₀N₈)]₂ units form infinite chains extending along the a axis via the Cl atoms. Intermolecular C—H⃛Cl contacts C⃛Cl = 3.484 (2) Å] are also present in the chains. The chains are linked together by intermolecular C—H⃛N interactions C⃛N = 3.314 (3) Å].
