title: Poly[[bis-(μ-4,4'-bipyridine-κ(2)N:N')copper(I)] perchlorate 0.24-hydrate].
abstract: The title copper(I) polymeric compound, {[Cu(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]ClO(4)·0.24H(2)O}(n), obtained by the reaction of Cu(ClO(4))(2) and 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy) under hydro-thermal conditions, features a fourfold-inter-penetrated diamondoid coordination framework. The asymmetric unit consists of two Cu(I) atoms, three 4,4'-bpy ligands in general positions and two halves of two centrosymmetric 4,4'-bpy ligands, two ClO(4) (-) anions and water mol-ecule with a site-occupancy factor of 0.480 (17). The Cu(I) atoms are in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment and are bridged by 4,4'-bpy ligands, forming a diamondoid cationic polymeric framework that encloses two symmetry-independent channels along [100], which accommodate perchlorate anions and water mol-ecules.
