Bis(ethyl-enediamine-κ(2)N,N')bis-(methanol-κO)copper(II) benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate methanol disolvate.
In the cation of the title compound, [Cu(C(2)H(8)N(2))(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)](C(8)H(4)O(4))·2CH(3)OH, the Cu(II) atom lies on an inversion centre. The four N atoms of two ethyl-enediamine ligands around the Cu(II) atom form the equatorial plane, while two methanol O atoms in the axial positions complete a Jahn-Teller distorted octa-hedral coordination. The benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate anion is centrosymmetric. In the crystal, C-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the cations, the anions and the methanol solvent mol-ecules.
