Abstract: The title dinuclear compound, [Cu₂(C₁₁H₉N₂O₂)₂(C₅H₅N)₂](ClO₄)₂, was obtained by the reaction of di-2-pyridyl ketone, copper(II) acetate, pyridine and sodium perchlorate. The two Cu^II atoms are coordinated by two hydroxydi-2-pyridylmethanolate ligands and two pyridine ligands, resulting in a distorted [CuN₃O₂] square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular - (face-to-face distances of about 3.40 Å) and C-H (Hcentroid distances of about 2.80 Å) interactions of aromatic rings.
