The reaction between CuCl2·2H2O and 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one (dafone) in a 1 M HCl solution resulted in a mononuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(dafone)2Cl2]·2H2O. Crystallographic studies show that the Cu(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated to two chloride ions and four nitrogen atoms in two dafone molecules.
