Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of di­chlorido­(methanol-κO)bis­(2-methyl­pyridine-κN)copper(II)

In the title complex, [CuCl2(C6H7N)2(CH3OH)], the copper atom is five-coordinated by two nitro­gen atoms of 2-methyl­pyridine ligands, two chloro ligands and an oxygen atom of the methanol mol­ecule, being in a tetra­gonal–pyramidal environment with N and Cl atoms forming the basal plane. In the crystal, complex mol­ecules 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 inter­actions into layers parallel to (001).
