T. Akitsu and Y. Einaga

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(ClO₄)₂(C₄H₁₂N₂)₂], the Cu atom is located at a center of symmetry. It adopts an elongated octahedral trans-[CuN₄O₂] coordination geometry, which is a typical feature of the pseudo-Jahn-Teller effect. The axial Cu-O bond length is 2.605  (4)  Å, while the in-plane Cu-N bond lengths are 1.987  (2) and 2.098  (2)  Å.
