(2,2′-Bipyridine)(2-{1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino]ethyl}-4-methoxyphenolato)copper(II) perchlorate

The Cu atom of the title complex, [Cu(C13H19N2O2)(C10H8N2)]ClO4, has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with all three of the donor atoms from the N,N′,O-tridentate Schiff base ligand in the equatorial positions and the bipyridine N atoms in an equatorial–axial binding mode. The Cu atom is 0.1801 (11) Å above the N3O mean basal plane
