Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₃H₁₃Cl₂NO₃)(C₃H₇NO)], the Cu^II atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry by two O atoms and one N atom from the tridentate chiral ligand 2-[(3,5-dichloro-2-oxidobenzylidene)amino]-3-methylpentanoate and by one O atom from dimethylformamide. In the crystal structure, the Cu atom forms contacts with Cl and O atoms of two units (CuCl and CuO = 3.401 and 2.947 Å, respectively), thereby forming an approximately octahedral arrangement. A three-dimensional network is constructed through ClCu, OCu, ClCl contacts and C-HO hydrogen bonds.
