Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₁₃H₁₁N₂O)(H₂O)](NO₃)·H₂O, is a mononuclear copper(II) compound. The Cu atom is coordinated by two N atoms and one O atom from the Schiff base ligand, and another O atom from a water molecule. The four atoms around the metal constitute a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. All O atoms in the nitrate anions and all amine N atoms in the 2-aminomethylpyridine ligands contribute to hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of sheets parallel to the ab plane.
