Abstract
The title complex, [Cu(C10H7NOS)(2)(H2O)(2)](BF4)(2), contains tetrago nally elongated octahedral diaquabis(2-thienyl 2-pyridyl ketone)copper (II) cations counterbalanced with BF4- anions. The Cu atom resides on an inversion center and is bonded to the ligand through the pyridine N and the carbonyl O atoms [1.986(2) Angstrom], with a bite angle of 81 .39(10)degrees. The thiophene is not involved in coordination. The coo rdinated water molecules are hydrogen bridged to adjacent BF4- anions, linking the cation and anion in an extended chain.
