Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₁₂H₈N₂){N(CN)₂}](ClO₄), consists of zigzag chain [Cu(phen)(dca)]_nⁿ⁺ cations and [ClO₄]^- anions (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and dca = [N(CN)₂]^-). The Cu^II atom has a near square planar coordination environment with two N atoms of phen ligands and two N-terminal atoms of dca ligands. The complex forms a one-dimensional chain structure along the c axis, using dca as an end-to-end bridging ligand. The hydrogen-bonding interactions produce a three-dimensional network.
