Abstract: The reaction between copper(II) chloride dihydrate and excess tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane results in the formation of the title complex, [Cu(C₁₀H₁₀N₆)₂]Cl₂·2CH₃OH. The centrosymmetric complex cation is mononuclear with octahedral coordination for Cu and two tridentate ligands. Two short and one long Cu-N distances [2.002 (3), 2.011 (2) and 2.413 (2) Å] are found, as expected for Jahn-Teller distortion.
