Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₈H₇O₂)(NO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)], the Cu^II ion is five-coordinate in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The basal positions are occupied by two N atoms from a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two O atoms from the 2-acetylphenolate anion. The axial position is occupied by one O atom of a nitrate anion. In the bipyridine ligand, the two pyridine rings are slightly twisted by an angle of 3.5 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-HO hydrogen bonds
