Abstract: The title mononuclear complex, [Cu(C₂H₃O₃)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)]·2H₂O, is isostructural with its zinc(II) analogue. The Cu atom in the complex exists in a distorted octahedral coordination environment, defined by four O atoms and two N atoms. O-HO hydrogen bonds and - stacking interactions help to consolidate the crystal packing.
