title: (2,2'-Bipyridine-κN,N')[N-(2-oxido-1-naphthyl-idene)threoninato-κO,N,O]copper(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Cu(C(15)H(13)NO(4))(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Schiff base ligand is derived from the condensation of 2-hydr-oxy-1-naphthaldehyde and l-threonine. The Cu(II) atom is five-coordinated by one N atom and two O atoms from the Schiff base ligand and by two N atoms from a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, the combination of inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds leads to a two-dimensional network.
