Bis[bis(3-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)(pyrazol-1-yl)methane]copper(II) bis(perchlorate) acetonitrile disolvate

Abstract

The title copper(II) complex, [Cu(C22H18N6)2](ClO4)2.2C2H3N, comprises two neutral substituted tris(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands bonded to a central Cu(II) ion, which is positioned on a crystallographic inversion center. Six Cu-N bonds are arranged in a distorted octahedral fashion. The unsubstituted pyrazole rings on each ligand are oriented trans with respect to each other, interdigitated with the two 3-phenylpyrazole rings of the other ligand.
