The title complex, [Cu(CHNO)Cl] or [Cu(Hbis-tris-)Cl], was obtained starting from the previously reported [Cu(Hbis-tris-)Cl]Cl compound. The deprotonation of the amino-polyol ligand Hbis-tris {[bis-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-tris-(hy-droxy-meth-yl)methane, CHNO} promotes the formation of a very strong O-H���O inter-molecular hydrogen bond, characterized by an H���O separation of 1.553���(19)����� and an O-H���O angle of 178���(4)��. The remaining hy-droxy groups are also engaged in hydrogen bonds, forming (8), (16), (20) and (22) ring motifs, which stabilize the triperiodic supra-molecular network.
