J. Wang and M.-L. Tong

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu₂(CH₃O)₂(C₅H₅N)₄](ClO₄)₂, consists of a centrosymmetric dinuclear unit with bridging methoxo groups, and each Cu^II atom forms a square-planar CuN₂O₂ unit with pyridine ligands. The CuCu distance is 2.9336 (11) Å and the Cu-O-Cu bond angle is 99.51 (7)°. The perchlorate anions are at semi-coordination distances, the Cu-O(perchlorate) distances being in the range 2.649 (2)-2.741 (2) Å.
