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