Abstract
The crystal structure of the title compound, (C6H7FN)2[CuCl4], consists of parallel two-dimensional perovskite-type layers of corner-sharing CuCl6 octahedra. These are bonded together via N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds from the 4-fluoroanilinium chains, which are almost perpendicular to the layers. The CuCl4 dianions have two short Cu—Cl bonds [2.2657 (15) and 2.2884 (13) Å] and two longer bonds [2.8868 (15) Å], giving highly Jahn–Teller-distorted CuCl6 octahedra. The Cu atoms are situated on crystallographic centers of inversion.
