H. Casellas, A. Pevec, B. Kozlevcar, P. Gamez and J. Reedijk

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₁₀H₉N₃)₂(CH₃OH)₂](SiF₆), was obtained in low yield in the reaction of dipyridylamine with Cu(BF₄)₂ using thermal conditions in a sealed pressure tube. The Cu-based cation lies at the centre of the triclinic unit cell, the hexafluorosilicate anions lying at the corners. Cations and anions, which are centrosymmetric, are held together by hydrogen bonds.
