title: catena-Poly[[(ethanol-κO)[3-(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)benzoic acid-κO]lithium]-μ-3-(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)benzoato-κO:O'].
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric compound, [Li(2)(C(16)H(11)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(16)H(12)N(2)O(2))(2)(CH(3)CH(2)OH)(2)](n), contains two Li(I) ions, two 3-(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)benzoate ions, two 3-(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)benzoic acid mol-ecules and two ethanol mol-ecules. In the crystal structure, each of the two Li(I) ions has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms, one carboxyl O atom and one ethanol O atom. The carboxyl-ate group bridges the Li(I) ions, forming a one-dimensional polymeric chain along [100]. The crystal structure is further stabilized by O-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonding, and π-π inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances in the range 3.6534 (13)-3.8374 (13) Å.
