Acetonitrile-{3-[bis-(2-pyridyl-methyl-κN)amino-κN]propanol-κO}(perchlorato-κO)copper(II) perchlorate.

In the title compound, [Cu(ClO(4))(C(2)H(3)N)(C(15)H(19)N(3)O)]ClO(4), the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by three N atoms and a hydroxyl-O atom of the tetra-dentate ligand, an O atom of a perchlorate ion and an N atom of an acetonitrile ligand giving a tetra-gonally distorted octa-hedral environment around the copper(II) atom. There is an offset inter-complex face-to-face π-π inter-action [centroid-centroid distance = 3.718 (2) Å] involving one of the pyridine rings of the ligand as well as an intra-complex O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-action between the coordinated hydroxyl group of the ligand and the perchlorate counter-ion.
