Bis[μ-3,5-bis­(2-pyrid­yl)pyrazolato]bis­(hydrogensulfato)­dicopper(II) methanol disolvate

The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(13)H(9)N(4))(2)(HSO(4))(2)]·2CH(3)OH, consists of discrete centrosymmetric dinuclear complex mol-ecules and methanol solvent mol-ecules. The Cu(II) atom shows a square-pyramidal coordination geometry and is bonded to four N atoms of the two bis-chelating 3,5-bis-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazol-ate ions (bpypz(-)) and one O atom of the hydrogensulfate ion. The bpypz(-) ligands in the complex mol-ecule are virtually coplanar [dihedral angle between the mean ligand planes = 0.000(1)°] with the Cu(II) atom deviating in opposite directions from their best plane by 0.2080 (12) Å. π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyridyl and pyrazole rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.391 (3) Å] and strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the hydrogensulfate ligands and the methanol mol-ecules assemble the mol-ecules into a one-dimensional polymeric structure extending along the a axis. The methanol mol-ecule acts both as an accepter and a donor in the hydrogen bonding.
