%X Compounds of the empirical formula Cu(HIm)2(Im)X [where X = NO3-,   ClO4-, Cl-, Br-, and I-; HIm = imidazole and Im- = anion of imidazole] have been prepared and investigated. Evidence for the imidazolato anion acting as a bridging ligand in the solid state is based on magnetic and spectroscopic data. The electronic spectra of aqueous solutions of tetrakisimidazolecopper(11) compounds suggest the presence of the binuclear hydroxy-bridged cation (1) :     (See diagram in article)  which is also furnished by the imidazolato-bridged species in aqueous solution.
