Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₂H₁₆NO₅)₂]·2H₂O, the Cu^II ion adopts a trans-CuN₂O₄ octahedral geometry arising from two N,O,O'-tridentate 6-methoxy-2-{[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]iminomethyl}phenolate ligands. The Jahn-Teller distortion of the copper centre is unusally small. In the crystal structure, O-HO hydrogen bonds, some of which are bifurcated, link the component species.
