Chlorido­(2,2′-{[2-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl-κN (3))imidazolidine-1,3-diyl-κN]bis­(methyl­ene)}bis­(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN (3)))copper(II) perchlorate

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [CuCl(C(17)H(24)N(8))]ClO(4), the copper(II) metal exhibits an N(4)Cl penta­coordinate environment in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. Coordination to the metal centre occurs through the three 1-methyl­imidazole N atoms from the pendant groups, one amine N atom from the imidazolidine moiety and one chlorido anion. Inter­molecular inter­actions take place at two of the 1-methyl-­imidazole rings in the form of parallel-displaced π–π stacking inter­actions forming chains parallel to the a axis. Three O atoms of the perchlorate anion are rotationally disordered between two orientations with occupancies of 0.5.
