metal-organic compounds
The structure of the title compound, [Cu(C2H3N)(C9H24N4)](ClO42, consists of (acetonitrile)[tris(3-amino-n-propyl)amine-N,N′,N′′,N′′′]copper(II) cations and perchlorate anions linked by an extensive network of weak N-H
O and C-HO hydrogen bonds. The CuII atom has a coordination geometry intermediate between tetragonal pyramidal (with one of the three primary amine N atoms occupying the apical coordination site) and trigonal bipyramidal (with the tertiary amine and acetonitrile N atoms in the axial positions). Main dimensions include Cu-N(amine) 2.035 (8)–2.121 (8) Å, Cu-N(acetonitrile) 2.099 (7) Å.
