Bis[N-(isopropylidene)propane-1,3-diamine-²N](perchlorato-O)copper(II) perchlorate

N. F. Curtis and W. T. Robinson

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₁₀H₂₈N₄)(ClO₄)]ClO₄, is formed by the reaction of bis(propane-1,3-diamine)copper(II) perchlorate with acetone. It has copper(II) ions coordinated by two bidentate ligands, N-(isopropylidene)propane-1,3-diamine, with N-isopropylidine imine and primary amine donor groups, the former resulting from the combination of the amine with acetone. The N₄ group is tetrahedrally twisted [r.m.s. displacement of N atoms from the N₄ plane = 0.252 (1) Å], with the Cu displaced from the plane by 0.113 (1) Å, towards an O atom of an axially coordinated perchlorate ion [mean Cu-N_amine = 2.029 (3) Å, mean Cu-N_imine = 1.993 (3) Å and Cu-O = 2.474 (2) Å].
