title: [5-Chloro-2-hydroxy-N'-(2-oxido-ben-zyl-idene)benzo-hy-dra-zidato]-pyridine-copper(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Cu(C(14)H(9)ClN(2)O(3))(C(5)H(5)N)], the Cu(II) ion exhibits a distorted trans-CuN(2)O(2) square-planar geometry arising from the O,O,N-tridentate ligand and a pyridine mol-ecule. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions generate a chain. The crystal studied was an inversion twin.
