(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ(2) N,N′)chlorido(2-hy­droxy-2,2-diphenyl­acetato-κ(2) O (1),O (1′))copper(II)

The Cu(II) atom in the title complex, [Cu(C(14)H(11)O(3))Cl(C(10)H(8)N(2))], exists within a ClN(2)O(2) donor set defined by a chloride ion, an asymmetrically chelating carboxyl­ate ligand, and a symmetrically chelating 2,2′-bipyridine mol­ecule. The coordination geometry is square pyramidal with the axial site occupied by the O atom forming the weaker Cu—O inter­action. The hy­droxy group forms an intra­molecular hydrogen bond with the axial O atom, as well as an inter­molecular O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond. The latter leads to the formation of [100] supra­molecular chains in the crystal, with the Cu(II) atoms lying in a line.
