In the title compound, [Cu(CH3COO)2(C18H16N2O2)]·H2O, the CuII ion is six-coordinated in a typically Jahn–Teller distorted octahedral environment defined by two O and two N atoms from the ligand and two O atoms from acetate anions. A linear chain structure propagating in [010] is built up by intermolecular O—HO hydrogen bonds involving the uncoordinated water molecules.
