Abstract: The title complex, [Cu(C₁₈H₁₈N₂O₆)], was synthesized by the reaction of copper(II) acetate monohydrate with the ligand 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-[ethylenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol (H₂L). The Cu atom is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms of the L^2- unit. A bridged dimer is formed through intermolecular CuO interactions [CuO = 1.9408 (15) Å], creating a distorted square-pyramidal geometry about the Cu atoms.
