| Summary: | Molecules of the title compound, [Cu(C21H17N3O4)(H2O)], lie across a crystallographic mirror plane. The CuII atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal environment by two phenolate O atoms and two imine N atoms of the tetradentate Schiff base anion in the basal plane and one water molecule in the apical position. Because of symmetry, the pyridine N atom and the corresponding C atom at the 4-position of the pyridine ring are disordered. The crystal packing can be described as being composed of alternating layers stacked along [001]. Intramolecular C—H...N and intermolecular C—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions, as well as C—H...π and π–π stacking interactions [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.799 (8) Å and interplanar distance = 3.469 (2) Å] are observed.
