Di-μ-hydroxido-κ(4) O:O-di-μ-perchlorato-κ(4) O:O'-bis-[(2,2'-bi-pyridine-κ(2) N,N')copper(II)].
In the title binuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu2(ClO4)2(OH)2(C10H8N2)2], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated in the form of a Jahn-Teller distorted octahedron by two bi-pyridine N atoms, two perchlorate O atoms and two hydroxide O atoms, and displays a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The mol-ecule belongs to the symmetry point group C 2h . The Cu(II) ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and the hydroxide and perchlorate ligands are located on a mirror plane. Within the dinuclear mol-ecule, the Cu⋯Cu separation is 2.8614 (7) Å. The crystal structure exhibits O-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and π-π [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5374 (13) Å] inter-actions.
