Summary
The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined from x-ray diffractometer data by the heavy-atom method and refined anisotropically by least-squares calculations. Crystals are monoclinic, space groupP 21/c, with unit cell dimensions:a=7.321(1),b=14.622(2),c=14.827(2) Å,β=92.95(2)∘, Z=4. The finalR index is 4.6%. The copper coordination is trigonal, involving the sulphur atoms of twoN-ethyl-1,3-imidazolidine-2-thione molecules and one chlorine atom. The structure is held together by two intramolecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and by normal van der Waals interactions.
