Dashed lines show intermolecular C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds.

In the electronically neutral complex, [Cu(C17H16N2O2)]·CH3OH, the CuII ion is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from a bis‐Schiff base ligand in a slightly distorted square‐planar geometry. The methanol solvent mol­ecule is disordered over two orientations.
