(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ(2) N,N′){N-[2-oxido-5-(phenyl­diazen­yl)benzyl­idene-κO]glycinato-κ(2) N,O}copper(II)

In the title compound, [Cu(C(15)H(11)N(3)O(3))(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Cu(II) atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal CuN(3)O(2) geometry. The basal positions are occupied by three donor atoms from the tridentate Schiff base ligand and by one N atom from the 2,2′-bipyridine ligand. The axial position is occupied by the other N atom of the 2,2′-bipyridine ligand. The crystal structure is consolidated by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In addition, π–π inter­actions between adjacent pyridine rings (centroid–centroid distances = 3.238 and 3.313 Å) may also stabilize the crystal packing.
