Description
Summary:The title copper(II) complex of a pyridine-containing macrocycle (PyMAC), [Cu(C 16 H 28 N 4 )](ClO 4 ) 2 , has been prepared. The crystal structure reveals the Cu II atom to be octahedrally coordinated by a tetradentate aminopyridine macrocyclic ligand surrounding the metal cation in a square-planar geometry. Two weakly bound perchlorate counter-ions occupy the axial sites above and below the macrocyclic plane. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component pseudo-merohedral twin; the refined fractional contribution of the minor component is 38.77 (8)%
