title: Chlorido(4-methylpyridin-2-amine-κN (1))(2-{[(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)imino-κN]methyl}phenolato-κO)copper(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Cu(C13H11N2O)Cl(C6H8N2)], the Cu(II) atom adopts a distorted tetra-hedral geometry being coordinated by the phenolic O atom and the azomethine N atom of the Schiff base ligand N-salicyl-idene 2-amino-pyridine, and by the 2-amino-pyridine N atom and a Cl atom. The pyridyl N atom of the Schiff base and the imino N atom of the 4-methyl-pyridine-2-yl-imino ligand are not involved in the coordination. There is an intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond involving the pyridine N atom and the amino group of the 2-amino-pyridine ligand. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [001].
