Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(bdtm)₂(H₂O)₃](ClO₄)₂ [bdtm is bis(3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane, C₉H₁₄N₆], is the first example of a mononuclear copper complex with monodentate bdtm ligands. In the cation, which possesses crystallographically imposed twofold rotation symmetry, the Cu^II atom is coordinated by the two N atoms [Cu-N = 2.009 (3) Å] from two symmetry-equivalent bdtm ligands and three O atoms [Cu-O = 1.949 (3) and 2.232 (6) Å] from the water molecules in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry.
