Abstract
In the title compound, [CuCl2(C9H18N4)]·CH3OH, the central CuII ion is coordinated by three N atoms from the pyrazole derivative ligand and two chloride co-ligands. The coordination geometry around the CuII ion is distorted trigonal–bipyramidal. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C—H...O, C—H...Cl and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework with the lattice solvent molecule.

Summary
Rigid ligands including pyrazole are some of the most desirable ligands to biologists and bioinorganic chemists for specific functions, such as catalysis and fluxional behaviour (Zhang et al, 2009; Arroyo et al, 2000), and in electrochemistry (Morin et al, 2011). There has been considerable interest in the use of multifunctional ligands containing substituted pyrazole groups because of their potential applications in catalysis, and their ability to form complexes that mimic structural and catalytic functions in metalloproteins (Garcıa-Anton et al, 2003; Mukherjee, 2000; Pal et al, 2005; Shaw et al, 2004). The research field dealing with copper complexes embraces a wide range of topics, such as metastasis development (Turski et al, 2009; Finney et al, 2009), anticancer activity, and other aspects of bioinorganic chemistry.
