A mixture of 2-(pyrazol-3-yl)phenol (0.32 g, 2.0 mmol; Catalan et al., 1992), CuBr2 (0.22 g, 1.0 mmol) and NaOH (0.040 g, 1 mmol) in MeOH (50 cm3) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hrs, yielding a brown solution. Concentration of this solution to about half its original volume afforded a dark precipitate, which was removed by filtration. Storage of the filtrate at 263 K afforded dark brown plates, which slowly degraded in vacuo. The dried material reproducibly analyses for [CuL2].xCH3OH.(2 - x)H2O (x = ca 1/2). Found C, 53.4; H, 4.5; N, 12.9%. Calcd for C18H14CuN4O2·1.5CH3OH·0.5H2O C, 53.4; H, 4.8; N, 12.8%.
All H atoms were located in the Fourier difference map and allowed to refine freely. Refined C—H distances ranged from 0.88 (3)–1.02 (4) Å, while N3—H3 = 0.88 (3) and O15—H15 = 0.75 (3) Å.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Structure solution was achieved by direct methods using SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 1990), while least squares refinement used SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997). No disorder was detected during refinement. All non-H atoms were refined anisotropically, and no restraints were applied. |

We have recently described that complexation of CuCl2 or CuBr2 by 3{5}-tertbutylpyrazole in basic MeOH leads to a novel heptacopper aggregate structure, which is templated by N—H···X (X- = Cl-, Br-) hydrogen bonding between the pyrazole ligands and non-coordinated halide anions (Liu et al., 2001). As an extension of this work, we were keen to examine the Cu(II) chemistry of pyrazole ligands containing additional hydrogen-bonding functionality, in addition to the N—H group of the pyrazole ring. 2-(Pyrazol-3-yl)phenol(HL) is one such ligand that is readily available (Catalan et al., 1992), and we now report the structure of the mononuclear complex [CuL2]·2CH3OH (I). No other complexes of L- have been previously crystallographically characterized, although the crystal structure of one complex of the closely related ligand 2-(5-methylpyrazol-3-yl)phenol (HL'), [FeL'2(CH3OH)2]NO3·CH3OH, has been reported (Ainscough et al., 1980).
The asymmetric unit of the crystals contains half a complex molecule, with Cu1 lying on the crystallographic inversion centre at 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, together with one molecule of methanol. As in [FeL'2(CH3OH)2]NO3·CH3OH (Ainscough et al., 1980), the L- ligands in I chelate to the Cu ion through their pyrazole N and phenoxide O donors, giving a four-coordinate Cu(II) centre with a trans-N2O2 donor set. The coordination geometry at Cu1 is strictly planar by symmetry, and is almost perfectly square. The Cu(II) ion stands proud of the least squares plane of the chelating ligand, by 0.5784 (13) Å. This is also manifested in the dihedral angle between the square plane of donors at Cu1 [Cu1, N2, O13, N2i, O13i] and the least squares plane of the L- ligand [N2–O13], which is 24.73 (7)°. The pyrazole and phenoxide moieties of the ligand are twisted with respect to each other, with the dihedral angle between the least squares planes [N2–C7] and [C8–O13] being 16.37 (11)°.
The methanol molecule accepts a hydrogen bond from the L- pyrrolic N—H group, and donates a hydrogen bond to the phenoxide O-donor of a neighbouring molecule related by x, y, 1 - z. This affords a one-dimensional polymeric chain of hydrogen-bonded molecules, running parallel to the z-axis of the unit cell. Adjacent chains are linked by a π–π interaction between the phenyl rings C7–C12 and C7iii–C12iii (related by -x, 1 - y, 1 - z). The interacting rings are strictly coplanar by symmetry and are separated by 3.410 (5) Å, with their centroids being offset by 1.24 Å. These parameters imply a π–π interaction that is only weakly electrostatically attractive (Hunter & Sanders, 1990).
