Methano-ldinitrato[N-(2-pyridylmethyl-ene)aniline]copper(II).

The Cu atom in the title compound, [Cu(NO(3))(2)(C(12)H(10)N(2))(CH(3)OH)], adopts a square-pyramidal geometry, being ligated by two N atoms of the bidentate N-(2-pyridylmethyl-ene)-aniline (ppma) ligand, two O atoms of NO(3) 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, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between methanol and NO(3) ligands form an extensive one-dimensional network extending parallel to [100].
