A novel chelating ligand, synthesized in situ within the coordination sphere of Cu II from 2‐amino‐3‐methylpyridine, MeOH, and dioxygen from the air, is found to form a strongly coupled, dinuclear methoxo‐bridged Cu II compound with the formula [Cu(L)(CH 3 O)(NO 3 )] 2 (L = 2‐methoxymethylamino‐3‐methylpyridine). The geometry around the copper atom is square pyramidal and the Cu–Cu distance within the dinuclear unit is 3.011(2) Å with an Cu–O–Cu angle of 103.13(8)°. Synthesis, X‐ray crystal structure, and magnetism are reported.
