Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(NO(3))(2)(C(15)H(19)N(3)O)], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by the N atoms of the tetra-dentate 3-[bis-(2-pyridyl-meth-yl)amino]-propanol ligand and two O atoms from two monodentate nitrate anions, resulting in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. An inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-action between the free hy-droxy group of the ligand and a nitrate O atom of an adjacent complex unit, gives a chain structure which extends across the (101) planes.
