Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C13H13Cl2NO3)(C10H8N2)]·2.5H2O, the CuII atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted tetra­gonal–pyramidal geometry by two O atoms and one N atom from the chiral ligand 2-[(3,5-dichloro-2-oxidobenzyl­idene)amino]-3-methyl­penta­noate and two N atoms from 2,2′-bipyridine. The asymmetric unit consists of two CuII complexes and five water molecules. In the crystal structure, the water mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into five-membered rings that are further linked into chains.
