A (3,5-Dimethylpyridine-N)(N-salicylideneglycinato-O,N,O':O'')copper(II) Polymer

The title compound, [Cu(C₉H₇NO₃)(C₇H₉N)], adopts a square-pyramidal Cu^II coordination with the tridentate N-salicylideneglycinato Schiff-base dianion and the 3,5-dimethylpyridine ligand bound in the basal plane. The apex of the pyramid is occupied by a carboxylic O atom from the neighbouring chelate at an apical distance of 2.386 (2) Å leading to infinite one-dimensional chains along the crystallographic a axis.
