title: Poly[dimethano-lbis[μ-5-(3-pyrid-yl)tetra-zolato-κN:N]copper(II)].
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu(C(6)H(4)N(5))(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)](n), the Cu(II) cation lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by four 5-(3-pyrid-yl)tetra-zolate anions and two methanol mol-ecules in an elongated distorted CuN(4)O(2) octa-hedral geometry. Each 5-(3-pyrid-yl)tetra-zolate anion bridges two Cu(II) cations, forming a two-dimensional polymeric complex with (4,4) network topology. In the crystal structure, the two-dimensional layers are connected by inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonding, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture.
