The complex crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2 1 /n with unit cell parameters a = 7.295(4), b = 19.627(5), c = 12.770(4) Å, β = 101.25(4)º, V = 1793.2(12) Å 3 , Z = 4, ρ = 1.684 Mg/m 3 at T = 293(2)K. The structure was solved by Patterson method and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R = 0.0387 using 2906 observed reflections. The asymmetric unit of the complex contains a mononuclear tridentate ligand, a perchlorate group and a methanol molecule. The compound crystallizes as parallel layers of polymeric complex bridged through perchloarate groups. The molecular CuN 2 OO'O'' 2 chromophore involves an elongated rhombic octahedral structure and the Cu-ligand bond shows greater disparity. The fivemembered chelate ring and the pyridine ring lie in the same plane while the six membered chelate ring assumes sofa conformation. A strong O-H…O inter molecular interaction plays a key role in the formation of dimer along b-axis.
