Bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazole-N²)(2,2-dimethyl-N-salicylideneglycinato-O,N,O')copper(II)

In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₁H₁₁NO₃)(C₅H₈N₂)₂], the Cu^II atom adopts a square-pyramidal coordination, with a tridentate 2,2-dimethyl-N-salicylideneglycinate Schiff base dianion and a 3,5-dimethypyrazole ligand bound in the basal plane. The apex of the elongated pyramid is occupied by a second 3,5-dimethylpyrazole molecule, with a Cu-N distance of 2.461 (2) Å. All molecules are arranged in a single magnetic orientation.
