Tetrakis[1-(3-chloropropyl)-1,2,4-triazole-kappaN4]bis(tetrafluoroborato-kappaF)copper(II).
In the title complex, [Cu(BF(4))(2)(1tpc)(4)] [1tpc is 1-(3-chloropropyl)-1,2,4-triazole, C(5)H(8)ClN(3)], the copper(II) centres reside in a tetragonally distorted octahedral coordination environment. Four 1tpc ligands are coordinated to the metal atom via the N4 atom of the triazole rings in a square-planar arrangement, with Cu-N bond lengths in the range 2.002 (2)-2.019 (2) A. Two tetrafluoroborate anions, in the axial positions above and below the square plane, are weakly coordinated to the copper(II) centre, with Cu-F distances of 2.4009 (18) and 2.5096 (18) A.
