Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]NO₂·CHCl₃·0.5H₂O, the Cu atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by a bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two PPh₃ ligands. The Cu-N and Cu-P distances are similar to those observed in similar compounds. The range of coordination angles shows a moderate distortion from ideal tetrahedral geometry. The bipyridine ligand is twisted [14.2 (4)°] about the ring-ring C-C bond. The nitrate anion and the water and chloroform molecules of solvation are disordered. In the crystal structure, there are O(water)-HO(nitrate), C-HO(water) and C-HO(nitrate) hydrogen bonds.
