In compound I, the tetrahedrally distorted trigonal pyramidal environment of the copper atom comprises two nitrogen atoms of two organic molecules (L), the C=C bond of another L molecule, and the O atom of the water molecule. Due to the bridging function of L molecule, infinite chains [Cu · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O] _n are formed in the structure along the y axis. The chains are, in turn, assembled into layers through strong O-H…F hydrogen bonds involving both hydrogen atoms of the water molecule and fluorine atoms of the BF₄⁻ anion. In compound II, two bridging oxygen atoms of two trifluoroacetate anions and two copper atoms form a centrosymmetric dimer. The nitrogen atom of the benzotriazole ring of one molecule L and the C=C double bond of the allyl group of the other molecule L complete the distorted coordination tetrahedron of the metal atom. Owing to the bridging function of the L molecule, the [CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅)]₂ dimers are connected to form infinite double chains associated in a three-dimensional framework by only weak interactions. The replacement of the covalently bonded trifluoroacetate anion by an outer-sphere tetrafluoroborate ion opens up the possibility for metal atom binding to three L molecules simultaneously.
