Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of di-chlorido-(methanol-κ O)bis-(2-methyl-pyridine-κ N)copper(II)

In the title complex, [CuCl₂(C₆H₇N)₂(CH₃OH)], the copper atom is five-coordinated by two nitro-gen atoms of 2-methyl-pyridine ligands, two chloro ligands and an oxygen atom of the methanol mol-ecule, being in a tetra-gonal-pyramidal environment with N and Cl atoms forming the basal plane. In the crystal, complex mol-ecules related by the twofold rotation axis are joined into dimeric units by pairs of O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. These dimeric units are assembled through C-H⋯Cl inter-actions into layers parallel to (001).
