In the title complex, [CuNd(C(20)H(22)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated in a distorted square-planar environment by two O atoms and two N atoms of a tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand. The Nd(III) ion is ten-coordinated by three bis-chelating nitrate groups and four O atoms of the Schiff base ligand. The atoms of one of the nitrato ligands are disordered over two sets of sites, with refined occupancies of 0.567 (13) and 0.433 (17).
