Aqua­(4-methyl­quinoline-κN)[N-(2-oxidobenzyl­idene)glycinato-κ(3) O,N,O′]copper(II) hemihydrate

The title complex, [Cu(C(9)H(7)NO(3))(C(10)H(9)N)(H(2)O)]·0.5H(2)O, crystallizes with two independent formula units in the asymmetric unit; the solvent mol­ecule is located on a twofold axis of symmetry. The Cu(II) atom is coordinated by one tridentate N-salicylideneglycinate Schiff base ligand, one 4-methyl­quinoline ligand and one water mol­ecule, leading to a slightly distorted square-pyramidal N(2)O(3) geometry. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into linear chains in the [100] direction. The structure is further stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions and C⋯C contacts with C⋯C = 3.3058 (2), 3.3636 (2) and 3.3946 (2) Å.
