Abstract: The polymeric structure of the title complex, [Cu(C₇H₄ClO₃)₂(C₆H₇NO)₂]_n, at 100 (2) K contains two-dimensional sheets parallel to the ac plane. The Cu^II atom, lying on an inversion centre, has an octahedral coordination environment. It is bonded in a trans-square-planar arrangement to the N atoms of two 3-pyridylmethanol molecules and one carboxylate O atom from each of two 4-chlorosalicylate anions. The axial positions are also occupied by 3-pyridylmethanol, but coordinated through O rather than the pyridyl N atom.
