H. L. Wu, Y. Z. Li and Y. C. Gao

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₂₄H₂₁N₇)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂·C₆H₇NO·H₂O, the copper ion is bonded to a tris(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine (ntb) and a water molecule, resulting in it being five-coordinate with an N₄O ligand set. The coordination geometry of the copper ion may best be described as distorted trigonal bipyramidal, with C3 molecular symmetry.
