Aqua(2-ethylpyridine-N)(N-salicylideneglycinato-O,N,O')copper(II)

In the title compound, [Cu(C₉H₇NO₃)(C₇H₉N)(H₂O)], the copper(II) centre has a square-pyramidal environment with a tridentate N-salicylideneglycinato Schiff base dianion and a 2-ethylpyridine ligand coordinated in the basal plane. The apex of the pyramid is occupied by the O atom from the coordinated water molecule at a distance of 2.388 (3) Å. The monomeric units are associated through hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains. There are two magnetically different copper(II) polyhedra.
