[(6-Methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)amine][(2-pyridylmethyl)amine]copper(II) bis(perchlorate)

The title compound, [Cu(C6H8N2)(C13H15N3)](ClO4)(2), is a mixed ligand complex with the Cu-II atom coordinated by (6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)(2-pyridylmethyl) amine, acting as a tridentate ligand, and 2-(2-aminomethyl) pyridine, as a bidentate ligand, leading to an N-5 square-pyramidal geometry. The amine H atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding to the perchlorate O atoms and there are extensive but weak intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions in the crystal structure. The perchlorate ions are each disordered over two positions, with site occupancies of 0.601 (8):0.399 (8) and 0.659 (11):0.341 (11).
