The structure consists of edge-shared dimers of zirconium chloride octahedra whose axial chlorides are bridged by bis-benzene chlorocuprate fragments. The Cu 2 Zr 2 tetramers are linked in the crystal lattice by edge-to-face π-stacking of the coordinated and lattice benzene molecules, as well as benzene-to-chloride hydrogen bonding. Benzene is lost from this material in a stepwise fashion resulting in what are described to be chain, ((bz)Cu) 2 Zr 2 Cl 10 ( 2 ) and layered clay-type materials, Cu 2 Zr 2 Cl 10 ( 3 ).

This material crystallizes in the trigonal space group P3̄m1 (#164) at room temperature with lattice constants a=10.9092(4) and c=6.1517, Z=3. The structure is shown to be related to ZrCl3, where every other Zr site has been replaced with Cu atoms that partially occupy the six tetrahedral interstices surrounding the now vacant octahedral interstice. At room temperature, two copper atoms are disordered about three crystallographically distinct sites. Two thermochromic transitions are observed for this material at 120 and 673 K, which appear to be related to the movement of copper from the center of a tetrahedral interstice to a trigonal planar face. A second-order Jahn–Teller distortion accounts for this structural variation. This along with the insertion of the empty Zr-4d orbitals into the already small copper (I) based HOMO–LUMO gap afford significant mixing between ground and excited states resulting in notable van Vleck paramagnetism.}, number={1-2}, journal={JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS}, author={Dattelbaum, AM and He, L and Tsui, F and Martin, JD}, year={2002}, month={May}, pages={173–184} }

The [(bz)CuCl(3)](2)(-) units are shown to be metal halide analogues of the phosphonate unit [RPO(3)](2)(-). Interchain interactions link chains of 1 along the crystallographic c direction via an edge-to-face pi-stacking of the coordinated benzene molecules. The crystal packing forces influence dramatic second-order Jahn-Teller distortions, making each of the two ((bz)CuCl(3))(2)(-) units distinct.
