title: (Dimethyl-formamide-κO)[2-meth-oxy-6-(2-pyridylmethyl-imino-meth-yl)phenolato-κN,N',O](thio-cyanato-κN)copper(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C(14)H(13)N(2)O(2))(NCS)(C(3)H(7)NO)], the Cu(2+) ion is coordinated by an N,N',O-tridentate 2-meth-oxy-6-(2-pyridylmethyl-imino-meth-yl)phenolate ligand, an N-bonded thio-cyanate ion and an O-bonded dimethyl-formamide (DMF) mol-ecule, resulting in a distorted CuN(3)O(2) square-based pyramidal geometry for the metal ion, with the DMF O atom in the apical site. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings in the ligand is 8.70 (16)°. The S atom is disordered over two positions in a 0.901 (6):0.099 (6) ratio. In the crystal, mol-ecules inter-act by way of π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid separation = 3.720 (2) Å].
