Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound bis[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-³N,N',O]copper(II) bis(4-fluorobenzoate), [Cu(C₄H₁₂N₂O)₂](C₇H₄FO₂)₂, contains one-half of a [Cu(C₄H₁₂N₂O)₂]²⁺ complex cation (the other half is inversion-related) and a 4-fluorobenzoate anion. The Cu^II atom has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry and is surrounded by four N atoms and two O atoms from the two inversion-related N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine ligands. In the crystal structure, the molecules are held together by intermolecular O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
