Tetrakis(1H-imidazole-N³)(perchlorato-O)copper(II) perchlorate dimethylamine disolvate

Y.-X. Zhou, G.-X. Cheng, B.-L. Wu and H.-Y. Zhang

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(ClO₄)(C₃H₄N₂)₄]ClO₄·2C₂H₇N₂, consists of a cationic tetrakis(1H-imidazole)perchloratocopper(II) complex, two dimethylamine solvent molecules and one perchlorate counter-anion. The coordination geometry of the metal atom is tetragonal-pyramidal, with four imidazole molecules in the basal plane and a perchlorate anion at the apex. The complex cations act as multiple connectors and self-assemble into a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded ribbon, which is further hydrogen bonded with the perchlorate anion and solvent dimethylamine to form a two-dimensional framework.
