A novel three dimensional network complex polymer [Cu4(oxen)2(N3)3]n(ClO4)n·2nH2O, where oxen is N,N’ -bis(2-aminoethyl)oxamide dianion, has been synthesized. It crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P(?), with a=11.486(2), b=11.706(3), c=12.291(3) (?), α=77.42(2), β=67.59(2), γ=77.96(2)°, and z=2. The least-square refinements converged at R=0.047, with 3416 observed unique reflections. The complex has a pronounced three-dimensional character and can be viewed as the tetranuclear asymmetric repeating units through inversion and translation operations to extend a three-dimensional network. The structure of Cu4 asymmetric unit consists of two square planar and two square pyramidal Cu central atoms linked by both azide ligands in end-on and end-to-end bonding modes, and oxamidate bridge in trans conformation.
