Aqua(pyridine-kN)(N-salicylidenetyrosinaot-k3 O,N,O')copper (II)

The tridentate Schiff base ligand derived from the conden­s­ation of salicyl­aldehyde and dl-tyrosine, in the presence of pyridine, forms a square-pyramidal five-coordinate Cu complex, [Cu(C16H13NO4)(C5H5N)(H2O)], with a water mol­ecule occupying the apical site.
