Abstract: In the title complex, [Cu(C₂₈H₁₈N₂O₂)], the Cu^II atom is coordinated by two N [Cu-N = 1.913 (4) and 1.919 (4) Å] and two O [Cu-O = 1.872 (3) and 1.880 (3) Å] atoms from the o-phenylenebis(naphthalideneamine) ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry. Molecules related by centres of symmetry separated by a b/2 translation form stacks along the b axis with shortest CC distances of 3.284 (8) and 3.298 (7) Å. In these stacks, short CuCu distances of 3.446 (3) Å are also observed in alternating pairs of molecules.
