Abstract: The title coordination polymer, {[Cu₂(C₆H₁₅N₂O)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)](ClO₄)₂}_n, was synthesized from 4,4'-bipyridine, N-hydroxypropyl-1,3-propanediamine and copper(II) perchlorate. Structural analysis shows that each copper ion is coordinated by the 4,4'-bipyridine molecule through one N atom, and by two N-hydroxypropyl-1,3-propanediamine ligands through the O atom and two N atoms of one, and the O atom from the second, giving a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. There are centres of inversion at the mid-points of the Cu₂O₂ ring and the bridging ligand.
