title: Bis[2-(2-hydroxy-3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)benzimidazolium] tetrachlorido-cuprate(II) methanol disolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, (C(14)H(13)N(2)O(2))(2)[CuCl(4)]·2CH(4)O, the geometry of the CuC1(4) (2-) ions (Cu site symmetry 2) is inter-mediate between tetra-hedral and square-planar. The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole and benzene ring systems is 8.74(14)°. A network of N-H⋯O, N-H⋯Cl and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds helps to consoldiate the structure. Aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions involving the benzimidazole ring system, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.785 (3) Å, also occur.
