Abstract
In the title compound, [CuCl2(C13H19N3O)]·H2O, the tridentate Schiff base ligand and the two Cl atoms complete a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry around the CuII ion in which the three N atoms and one Cl atom are located in the basal plane and the other Cl atom is at the apical position. In the crystal, O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules and the uncoordinated water molecules into infinite chains along the a axis. The chains are further connected into a three-dimensional network via C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl interactions.
