The title compound, [Cu(NO3)2(C14H13NO)2], has been synthesized by the reaction of (E)‐4‐(4‐methoxystyryl)pyridine with Cu(NO3)2 at room temperature in CH3OH. The mononuclear complex sits across a crystallographic centre of inversion. The CuII ion is six‐coordinated in a distorted octahedral fashion by the trans‐disposed pyridine N atoms of two pyridine ligands and asymmetrically by two O atoms from each of the two nitrate ligands, where one of the Cu—O distances is quite long at 2.452 (3) Å.
