Abstract
A new complex formulated as [Cu(Pn)2(N3)(BH4)](Pn = 1,3-propanediamine) has been prepared and characterized. The results indicate that the tetrahydroborate and azide ions complete the coordination. The complex is octahedral and non-electrolytic. A cyclic voltammetric study shows that the complex exhibits a single one-electron redox couple (Cu2+/Cu+).
