Abstract: In the square-pyramidal title complex, [CuCl(C₁₇H₂₄N₄O)]Cl, the Cu^II atom is coordinated by three N atoms [Cu-N 1.946 (2), 2.010 (2), 2.085 (3) Å], one O atom [Cu-O 1.910 (2) Å] and one apical Cl atom [Cu-Cl 2.6437 (9) Å]. The three coordinated N and one O atom are almost coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0268 Å. The tetradentate ligand forms two five-membered (N-Cu-N) and one six-membered (N-Cu-O) chelate rings with bite angles of 84.06 (10), 85.30 (10) and 91.70 (9)°, respectively. The two N-Cu-N chelate rings are non-planar.
