Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(ClO₄)₂(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)₂]_n, there are two independent Cu^II ions, one of which occupies a crystallographic inversion center. The 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane ligands bridge the Cu^II ions to form two independent two-dimensional sheets. In addition, two terminal perchlorate anions are coordinated to each Cu^II ion, resulting in distorted octahedral coordination around each Cu^II ion. The equatorial Cu-N bonds are in the range 2.014  (4)-2.031  (4)  Å, while the long axial Cu-O distances range from 2.434  (3) to 2.548  (3)  Å.
