The title complex, [Cu(C12H10N6)2](BF4)2, contains square-planar mononuclear CuII-bis[4-amino-3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole] cations counterbalanced by semi-coordinated BF4- anions. The Cu atoms reside on inversion centers and have a distorted octahedral coordination sphere. The amino group is hydrogen bridged to two of the F atoms of an adjacent BF4- anion.
