The two-dimensional structure of poly[[diperchloratocopper(II)]-bis[μ2-1,3-bis(4-pyridyl) propane]]

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(ClO4)(2)(C13H14N2)(2)](n), there are two independent Cu-II ions, one of which occupies a crystallographic inversion center. The 1,3-bis(4- pyridyl) propane ligands bridge the Cu-II ions to form two independent two-dimensional sheets. In addition, two terminal perchlorate anions are coordinated to each Cu-II ion, resulting in distorted octahedral coordination around each Cu-II ion. The equatorial Cu-N bonds are in the range 2.014 (4)-2.031 (4) angstrom, while the long axial Cu-O distances range from 2.434 (3) to 2.548 (3) angstrom.
