Bis[μ-2-(2,4-difluoro-phen-yl)-1,3-bis-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-olato]dicopper(II) bis-(perchlorate).

The title complex, [Cu(2)(C(13)H(11)F(2)N(6)O)(2)](ClO(4))(2), which was hydro-thermally synthesized, contains a binuclear copper cluster (2 symmetry) with a Cu(2)O(2) rhombus [Cu-O = 1.927†(2)†à ] formed by donation of two O atoms from two chelate rings. The tridentate function of each ligand is completed by two N atoms coordinated to the two Cu(II) atoms [Cu-N = 1.933†(2)†à ]. The separation distance of two Cu(II) atoms in a cluster is 2.988†(1)†à . The dihedral angle between the six-membered chelate rings is 2.13†(9)°. The perchlorate counter-anion is disordered over two sites in a 0.58†(10):0.42†(10) ratio.
