In the title compound, C(16)H(18)N(2)O(2), the mol-ecule adopts an E conformation about the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the pyrrole and phenyl rings is 41.55 (8)°. In the crystal structure, pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. In the dimer, the two pyrrole rings are almost coplanar and the two phenyl rings are parallel to each other.

In the title complex, [CuCl(2)(C(18)H(16)N(2)O(2))(2)]·CH(3)CN·H(2)O, the six-coordinated Cu atom is in a distorted octa-hedral geometry with the donor centers of two O atoms and two N atom from two bidentate ligands, and two chloride ions. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯ Cl hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers and inter-molecular O-H⋯ O hydrogen bonds between the ligand and the uncoordinated water mol-ecules link the dimers into chains parallel to the c axis.
