Abstract: The title complex, [Cu(H₂NCH₂CH₂NH₂)₂(CF₃COO)₂], possesses a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry. The Cu(II) atom is coordinated by four N atoms [Cu-N 1.985 (2), 2.015 (2) Å] from two chelate ethylenediamine ligands and two O atoms [Cu-O 2.579 (2) Å] from two trifluoroacetate anions in a distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonds.
