Abstract: The Cu atom in the title compound, [Cu(NO₃)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)(CH₃OH)], adopts a square-pyramidal geometry, being ligated by two N atoms of the bidentate N-(2-pyridylmethylene)aniline (ppma) ligand, two O atoms of NO₃ ligands and one O atom of a methanol molecule, which occupies the apical position. The phenyl ring on the ppma ligand is twisted out of the pyridine plane, forming a dihedral angle of 42.9 (1)°. In the crystal, intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds between methanol and NO₃ ligands form an extensive one-dimensional network extending parallel to [100].
