Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu₂(NCS)₂(C₁₀H₁₃N₂O)₂], contains one-half of the centrosymmetric dinuclear complex, which exhibits a CuCu separation of 3.255 (2) Å. In the complex, each Cu^II ion is pentacoordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry. The basal plane is formed by one phenol O [Cu-O = 1.910 (4) Å], one imine N [Cu-N = 1.922 (5) Å] and one amine N [Cu-N = 2.041 (5) Å] atoms from the Schiff base ligand, and by the N atom [Cu-N = 1.940 (6) Å] from a thiocyanate ligand. The apical position is occupied by the N atom [Cu-N = 2.768 (6) Å] of another thiocyanate ligand. There are intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bonds linking the two ligands.
