Abstract: In the title compound, [CuCl₂(C₁₄H₁₂N₄)₂]·3.33H₂O, the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two chelating 3-methyl-4-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole ligands and two chloride anions in a distorted octahedral geometry with a CuN₂N^'₂Cl₂ chromophore. The Cu atom is located on an inversion center. Two uncoordinated water molecules lie on threefold rotation axes with disordered H atoms. Two hydrogen bonds are formed between the water molecules, and another between water and a chlorido ligand.
