title: (Imidazole-κN){N-[1-(2-oxidophenyl)ethylidene]-l-valinato-κO,N,O'}copper(II).
abstract: In each of the two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C(13)H(15)NO(3))(C(3)H(4)N(2))], the Cu(II) atom is four-coordinated by two O atoms and the N atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand and one N atom from the imidazole ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
