The title compound Cu(C6N4H10)2(NO3)2 crystallizes in space group P1 with a = 9.708(3), b = 5.464(2), c = 9.367(3) A, a = 92.99(3), B= 101.24(3) and y = 108.54(3)°, z = 1, gc = 1.66gm/cm3,µ = 2.05 mm-1. The structure was solved by heavy-atom technique and was refined by least-squares method to R = 0.056. The Cu atom on the centre of inversion displayed a distorted octahedral coordination. © by R.
