Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Cu(C(11)H(16)N(3)O)]ClO(4), consists of two Cu(II) ions coordinated by Schiff base ligands and two perchlorate anions. The Schiff base mol-ecules are linked to the Cu(II) atoms via three N atoms and one O atom, resulting in a square-planar geometry. Inter-molecular hydrogen bonds involving the NH groups as donors and O atoms of the perchlorate anions as acceptors are observed.
