Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C(4)H(12)N(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(2), the central Cu(II) atom has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry and is surrounded by four N atoms and two O atoms from the two inversion-related 2-(2-amino-ethyl-amino)-ethanol ligands. In the crystal, mol-ecules are held together by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
