Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(ClO₄)₂(C₂H₈N₂)(C₅H₅N)₂], the Cu^II cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by four N and two O atoms in a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal packing can be described as ClO₄ tetrahedra and CuN₄O₂ octahedra alternating in a zigzag fashion along the c axis. The structure is stabilized by intermolecular N-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds, as well as - interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7179 (15) Å].
