The reaction of Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O, NaAsF6 and excess pyrazole yields hexakis(pyrazole-κN2)copper(II) bis(hexafluoroarsenate), [Cu(C3H4N2)6](AsF6)2 or [Cu(pzH)6](AsF6)2 (pzH is pyrazole), (I). The analogous hexakis(pyrazole-κN2)copper(II) hexafluorophosphate perchlorate complex, [Cu(C3H4N2)6](PF6)1.29(ClO4)0.71 or [Cu(pzH)6](PF6)1.29(ClO4)0.71, (II), is obtained in a similar fashion, using KPF6 in place of NaAsF6. Both compounds contain the hitherto unknown [Cu(pzH)6]2+ complex cation, in which the copper(II) ion lies at the center of a regular octahedron of coordinated N atoms. The cation has crystallographically imposed symmetry. The X-ray data indicate that the lack of the expected distortion can be accounted for by the presence of either static Jahn–Teller disorder or dynamic Jahn–Teller distortion.
