Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(ClO₄)₂(C₁₆H₁₆N₄O)₂]·2CH₃CN, the Cu^II atom, located on an inversion center, is in a tetragonally distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate 3-ethyl-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole ligands in equatorial positions and by the O atoms of two perchlorate groups in axial positions. The long axial Cu-O bond of 2.4743 (17) Å is the result of the Jahn-Teller effect.
