Description:
In the dinuclear title complex, [Cu2(C30H38N4O2)(H2O)2](ClO4)2, the coordination cation has crystallographically imposed twofold rotational symmetry. The CuIIion is five-coordinated by two N and two O atoms from the macrocylic ligand and one O atom from a water molecule, forming a square-pyramidal N2O3geometry with the water molecule in the apical position. The distance between the two CuIIatoms is 3.0930 (5) Å. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules and between water molecules and perchlorate anions assemble two cations and four anions into discrete supermolecules ofS4symmetry. Intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds are also observed. The perchlorate anion and thetert-butyl group are disordered over two positions, with occupancies of the major positions of 0.527 (11) and 0.592 (9), respectively.
