title: {(E)-4-Hy-droxy-N'-[phen-yl(pyridin-2-yl-κN)methyl-idene]benzohydrazide-κN',O}bis-(nitrato-κO,O')copper(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(NO(3))(2)(C(19)H(15)N(3)O(2))], the coordination geometry around the Cu(II) ion can be described as distorted square-pyramidal, with two N atoms and one O atom from an (E)-4-hy-droxy-N'-[phen-yl(pyridin-2-yl)methyl-ene]benzohydrazide ligand and one nitrate O atom in the basal plane and one nitrate O atom at the apical site. The other two nitrate O atoms also bind to the Cu atom with long Cu-O distances [2.607 (4) and 2.853 (5) Å]. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
