[N-(2-Aminoethyl)-N-(2-{(E)-[9-(diethoxymethyl)-1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl]methylideneamino}ethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]copper(II) bis(perchlorate)

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₂₄H₃₄N₆O₂)](ClO₄)₂, the copper(II) coordination geometry is intermediate between square-based-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal. The H atoms of the sixth non-metal-coordinating nitrogen donor engage in intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the ethoxy O atom and the uncoordinated phenanthroline N atom. Hydrogen bonding is also observed between the NH₂ H atoms and two of the phenanthroline H atoms with the perchlorate anions.
