Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₅H₅N)₄]PF₆, consists of discrete [Cu(C₅H₅N)₄]⁺ and PF₆^- ions. Both the cations and the anions are located on $\\overline{4}$ axes. The pyridine ligands are bonded to the Cu⁺ ion in an almost perfectly tetrahedral coordination geometry, with Cu-N = 2.061 (3) Å and N-Cu-N angles of 110.00 (9) and 108.42 (17)°.
