Abstract
The crystal structure of the title compound, (C3H10NO2)2[CuCl4], consists of parallel two-dimensional perovskite-type layers of corner-sharing CuCl6 octahedra which are bonded together by 4-aminobutyric acid chains nearly perpendicular to the layers. The Cu atoms lie on crystallographic centers of symmetry. The layers are held together by hydrogen bonds between the 4-aminobutyric acid molecules, which are also hydrogen-bonded to CuCl4 layers.
