title: Bis{2-[(2-cyano-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolato}copper(II).
abstract: In the title mononuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(C(14)H(9)N(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) atom, situated on an inversion centre, shows a slightly distorted square-planar geometry and is coordinated by the N and O atoms from two deprotonated symmetry-related Schiff base ligands. The Cu-N and Cu-O bond lengths are 2.009 (2) and 1.888 (2) Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between the cyano-phenyl rings and phenolate rings is 42.28 (13)°.
