Abstract: In the title tetranuclear complex, [Cu₄(C₁₁H₁₃NO₄)₄], which has crystallographic symmetry, the Cu^II ions are coordinated by the tridentate Schiff base ligands, forming a tetranuclear Cu₄O₄ cubane-like configuration. The Cu^II ion adopts a CuNO₄ distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-HO bonds help to form a three-dimensional structure.
