Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₂H₂ClO₂)₂(C₈H₇NO)₂(CH₄O)], the Cu²⁺ ion has a highly distorted square-bipyramidal (4 + 1 + 1) coordination environment and is bonded to three carboxylate O atoms of two chloroacetate anions (monodentate and asymmetrically bidentate), two pyridine N atoms of 2-methylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine and one methanol O atom. There is an intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bond. Intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds result in the formation of a three-dimensional network and - stacking interactions [3.44-3.83 Å] are observed between symmetry-related rings of 2-methylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine. Further interactions in the crystal structure are a short ClCl interaction [3.384 (2)Å] and C-H interactions between 2-methylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine rings.
