Abstract

The mononuclear title complex, [Cu(C(17)H(14)N(2)O(3))(C(5)H(5)N)], was synthesized by the reaction of CuCl(2)·2H(2)O with N-(4-oxo-4-phenyl-butan-2-yl-idene)benzohydrazide (H(2)L). The central Cu(II) atom exhibits a distorted square-planar coordination geometry, defined by two O atoms, one N atom from the ligand and one pyridine N atom with Cu-N distances of 1.874 (4) and 1.963 (4) Å, while the Cu-O distances are 1.857 (3) and 1.890 (3) Å. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N inter-action occurs.
