Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₅H₁₁ClN₂O₃)(C₅H₅N)], the hydrazide ligand chelates to the central Cu atom in an O,N,O'-tridentate manner and the pyridine molecule coordinates through the N atom, forming a distorted square-planar geometry. The compound has a trans configuration with cis angles about the Cu atom between 81.1 (2) and 95.7 (2)°. The molecule is discrete, with no significant intermolecular interactions.
