A new tetranuclear copper( Ⅱ) compound containing dissyrnmetrical oxamidate ligand was synthesized and structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and magnetic properties. The title compound 1 crystallizes in triclinic, space group P^-1 with a = 8.9547(9), b = 11.7018(9), c = 12.0288(10) A, a = 110.1790(10), β = 100.0700(10), ), = 100.6780(10)°, V= 1122.97(17)A^3, C34H48C12Cu4N10O16, Mr = 1177.92, Dc = 1.742 g/cm^3,μ(MoKa) = 2.067 mm^-1, F(000) = 600, Z = 1, the final R = 0.0391 and wR = 0.1073 for 3904 observed reflections (I 〉 2σ(I)). In the structure, complex 1 consists of a tetranuclear unit and two perchlorate anions. Furthermore, its magnetic properties have also been investigated.
