Supporting information
2-Acetylpyridine (0.2 mmol, 24.2 mg), propane-1,3-diamine (0.1 mmol, 7.4 mg), copper bromide (0.1 mmol, 22.3 mg), and ammonium fluoroborate (0.1 mmol, 10.5 mg) were mixed and stirred in methanol (20 ml) at reflux for 2 h, to give a blue solution. The solution was cooled to room temperature, and blue block-shaped single crystals of (I) were formed by slow evaporation of the solution in air.
H atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å) and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).

Special details top Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

As a continuation of our work on the Schiff base copper(II) complexes (Liu, 2011), the title new copper complex, (I), is reported.
The title compound contains a mononuclear copper(II) complex cation and a fluoroborate anion, Fig. 1. The CuII atom in the complex is five-coordinated by the four N atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by one bromide ion, forming a square-pyramidal geometry. The bond lengths (Table 1) related to the Cu atom are comparable with those observed in similar copper complexes with square-pyramidal geometry (Liu, 2011).
