Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(SO₄)(C₁₀H₉NO₂)₂]·2H₂O, the Cu^II ion is chelated by two (2-quinolyl)methanediol ligands and coordinated by a monodentate sulfate ligand in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environment, with O atoms occupying the equatorial sites and N atoms in the axial sites. The dihedral angle between the two essentially planar quinoline ring systems is 45.02 (9)°. In the crystal structure, an extensive O-HO hydrogen-bonding network forms layers parallel to the ab plane.
