Structure of Perchlorato(2,5,8,11‐Tetraazadodecane)Copper (II) Perchlorate Monohydrate

[Cu(C 8 H 22 N 4 )]·(ClO 4 ) 2 .H 2 O, M r = 454.80, orthorhombic C222 1 , a = 15.481(5), b = 7.404(1), c = 14.827(3)Å, V = 1699.5(8)Å 3 , Z = 4, D x = 1.78 g/cm 3 , λ(MoKα) = 0.71073Å, μ = 16.5 cm −1 . F(000) = 940, T = 22°C, R = 6.86%, R w = 7.66% for 820 observed reflections (I > 2.5σ (I)). The coordination number for the copper(II) ion is five, and the coordination geometry about copper(II) ion is a buckled square pyramid with the tetraamine equatorial and a perchlorate ion axial. The tetraamine is coordinated in a square‐plannar manner with slight tetrahedral distortions. The four Cu‐ N distances span a very narrow range, 1.990(10) −1.994(14)Å.
