Bis{2-[(2-cyano-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolato}copper(II).

In the title mononuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(C14H9N2O)2], the CuII atom, situated on an inversion centre, shows a slightly distorted square-planar geometry and is coordinated by the N and O atoms from two deprotonated symmetry-related Schiff base ligands. The Cu—N and Cu—O bond lengths are 2.009 (2) and 1.888 (2) A, respectively. The dihedral angle between the cyano­phenyl rings and phenolate rings is 42.28 (13)°.
