In the title compound, [Cu(C9H7NO3)(C7H9N)(H2O)], the CuII centre has a square-pyramidal environment with a tridentate N-salicylideneglycinato Schiff base dianion and a 2,3-dimethylpyridine ligand coordinated in the basal plane. The apex of the pyramid is occupied by the O atom of the coordinated water molecule at a distance of 2.384 (3) Å. The monomers are associated through hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains. The copper(II) polyhedra are arranged in a single magnetic orientation.
