title: Chloridobis[2-(1,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl-κN)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN]copper(II) chloride methanol hemisolvate tetra-hydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [CuCl(C(9)H(12)N(4))(2)]Cl·0.5CH(3)OH·4H(2)O, the Cu(II) ion adopts a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination arising from two bidentate ligands and a Cl(-) anion. The two heterocyclic ligands are planar with dihedral angles of 3.4 (1) and 0.7 (1)° between the pyrazole and imidazole rings. In the crystal, water mol-ecules and uncoordinated chloride anions form an O-H⋯Cl and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded sheet parallel to (100) which lies between two layers of complex mol-ecules. The packing is further stabilized by C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The methanol solvent mol-ecule is disordered across a centre of inversion.
