%X In the title compound, [Cu(C12H9N2O)2], the CuII atom lies on a crystallographic inversion center and has a nearly square-planar geometry. The CuII center coordinates to the phenolic O and azomethine N atoms of the two symmetry-related 2-[(2-pyridyl)iminomethyl]phenolate ligands. The pyridyl N atoms do not coordinate to the CuII atom but participate in intramolecular C¡ªH...N hydrogen bonding. ¦Ð¨C¦Ð stacking between the benzene rings and between the pyridyl rings [centroid¨Ccentroid distances 3.8142 (5) and 3.8142 (5)  , respectively] links the molecules into a chain propagating parallel to [100].
