The title compounds, [Cu(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(5)H(6)N(2))], (I), and [Cu(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(4)H(5)N(3))], (II), were prepared by the reaction of bis(pentane-2,4-dionato-κ(2)O,O')copper(II) with pyridin-2-amine and pyrimidin-2-amine, respectively. From a chemical point of view, it is interesting that no Schiff base formation was observed. The compounds are isostructural, with both having a square-pyramidal coordination of the Cu(II) atom and intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonding. The additional N atom of the pyrimidin-2-amine ligand is not involved in hydrogen bonding or in metal coordination. In the crystal structure, chelate rings are involved in π-π interactions and molecules of (I) are linked together via N-H...O hydrogen bonds.
