Abstract
Abstract The structure of the trinuclear complex, formed from N,N-diethyl-N′-(3-hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine and copper(II) perchlorate, has been determined from three dimensional X-ray diffraction data. The crystals are monoclinic with the space group P21/c. The cell dimensions are a=7.759(6), b=13.21(1), c=15.00(1) Å and β=103.95(6)°. The unit cell contains two molecules and the molecule has a centre of symmetry. The structure has been determined by the heavy atom method and refined by the block diagonal least squares method to give R=6.83% for 1368 observed reflections. Three copper atoms are arrayed on a straight line, the separations being 2.902 Å. The geometry around the two end copper atoms is best described as a slightly distorted tetragonal pyramid. The central copper atom has a square planar environment.
