Abstract: In the title complex, [Cu(C₁₆H₁₁Cl₂NO₄)(C₃H₇NO)] , the Cu^II atom is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from the tridentate ligand L^2- {LH₂ = (2S)-[2-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)imino]-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid} and one O atom from a dimethylformamide molecule, resulting in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The structure forms a one-dimensional chain through weak coordination bonds [CuO 3.080 (1), CuCl 3.269 (1) Å] and a three-dimensional network through O-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds.
