The copper Schiff base complex {tris[4-(2-thienyl)-3-
aza-~N-3-butenyl]amine-~N} copper(I) tetrafluoroborate,
[Cu{N(CTHgNS)3 }]+.BF4- (I), crystallizes with the cation
residing in a general position and two disordered tetrafluoroborate
anions residing on twofold axes. The cation
has approximate threefold symmetry and the copper(I)
geometry is distorted trigonal pyramidal with coordination
from the apical tertiary amine N atom and the three
azomethine N atoms but not from the S atoms of the three
thiophene moieties. The principal bond lengths are Cu--
Napical 2.300 (5) ,~ and mean Cu--Nequatorial 1.994 (4) A,,
with a mean Cu-..S contact of 3.270 (2) A.
