Abstract: The title racemic compound, [Cu(C₁₂H₁₁NO₅)(C₄H₆N₂)], adopts a square-planar copper(II) coordination mode with the tridentate N-salicylidenglutamato Schiff base dianion and the 1-methylimidazole ligand. Dimers of centrosymmetrically related molecules are formed. The theoretical investigation of the electronic structure of the title compound by the B3LYP method is presented.
