The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C26H22N2O2)]·C2H5OH, comprises a Schiff base complex and an ethanol molecule of crystallization. The CuII atom shows a distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 48.16 (13)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O-H
O and C-H
O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular
-
interactions with centroid-centroid distances in the range 3.485 (2)-3.845 (3) Å.
