The crystals of I and II have a monoclinic system; the unit cell parameters of I are: P2₁/n space group, a = 8.2921(3) Å, b = 14.7243(5) Å, c = 13.4970(4) Å, β = 102.426(1)°, V = 1609.32(9) ų, Z = 4; for II: C2/c space group, a = 23.5704(5) Å, b = 11.4977(2) Å, c = 16.0285(3) Å, β = 109.265(1)°, V = 4100.6(1) ų, Z = 8. The structures of I and II are molecular; they are composed of isolated molecules. The coordination polyhedron of the copper atom is formed by the O atoms of two acetylacetonate ligands (Cu-O 1.940(2)–2.171(2) I and the O atoms of two hexafluoroacetylacetonate ligands (Cu-O 1.940(2)–2.215(3) Å) in II. The molecules of 4-NH₂Py are bonded to the copper atom via the nitrogen atom of the aromatic ring (Cu-N 2.008(2) Å in I and Cu-N 1.978(3) Å in II). Noncoordinated amino groups join the molecules of the complexes together by means of N-H…O hydrogen bonds.
