Y. Wang, L.-L. Zhu and B.-W. Sun

Abstract: In the mononuclear title complex, [Cu(C₁₄H₁₃N₂O₂)₂], the Cu^II atom lies on an inversion centre and adopts a square-planar coordination geometry. The dihedral angle formed by the pyridine and benzene rings is 74.61 (5)°. Intramolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds are present. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak aromatic - stacking interactions involving neighbouring pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.853 (2) Å].
