Abstract.HzN(CHz)3NH(CH2)4N H(CHz)3NH2Cu(CIO4)2, monoclinic, P2x/n, a= 16.003 (3), b= 14.701 (4), c=7.849 (1) A, fl=91"66 (1) °, Z=4, Dc= 1'67 g cm -3. Full-matrix least-squares refinement gave a final R of 8.2%. The coordination about the copper ions is square planar of four nitrogen atoms of the same spermine molecule.
