title: Chlorido[4-chloro-2-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-imino-meth-yl)phenolato-κ(3)N,N',O]copper(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Cu(C(13)H(10)ClN(2)O)Cl], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by one O atom and two N atoms of the tridentate Schiff base ligand and one chloride ion, forming a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. Weak Cu⋯Cl inter-actions [2.793 (5) Å] result in the formation of a chain along the a axis.
