Description:
The title complex, [Cu(C11H10N2O2)2](BF4)2·2H2O, was isolated as a dihydrate from a 1:2 molar mixture of copper(II) tetrafluoridoborate hexahydrate with di-2-pyridyl ketone in aqueous solution. The centrosymmetric complex cation is structurally similar to that found in previously reported salts and exhibits Cu—O bonds deviating by 25 degrees from an octahedral geometry by the so-called `off-axis angle' distortion. The BF4−anion exhibits a two site disorder of the fluorine atoms [ratio 0.210 (8):0.790 (8)].
