The title compound, catena-poly[[[diaqua(methanol-κO)copper(II)]-μ-N-(4-methylpyrimidin-2-yl-κN(1))pyrazin-2-amine-κ(2)N(1):N(4)] [[aqua(aqua/methanol-κO)(perchlorato-κO)copper(II)]-μ-N-(4-methylpyrimidin-2-yl-κN(1))pyrazin-2-amine-κ(2)N(1):N(4)] tris(perchlorate) methanol monosolvate 1.419-hydrate], {[Cu(C9H9N5)(CH3OH)(H2O)2][Cu(C9H9N5)(ClO4)(CH3OH)0.581(H2O)1.419](ClO4)3·CH3OH·1.419H2O}n, is a one-dimensional straight-chain polymer of N-(4-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)pyrazin-2-amine (L) with Cu(ClO4)2. The complex consists of two crystallographically independent one-dimensional chains in which the Cu(II) atoms exhibit two different octahedral coordination geometries. The L ligand coordinates to two Cu(II) centres in a tridentate manner, with the pyrazine ring acting as a bridge linking the Cu(II) coordination units and building an infinite one-dimensional chain. Extensive hydrogen bonding among perchlorate anions, water molecules and L ligands results in three-dimensional networks.
Keywords: coordination polymer; copper(II) complex; crystal structure.
