An intramolecular N¡ªH...N interaction stabilizes the molecular conformation. Intermolecular N¡ªH...O and O¡ªH...O interactions involving the perchlorate counter-anions extend the monomeric compound into a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536812038573
