The title compound, [Cu2(C5H7N2)(C4H10NO2)Cl2(C5H8N2)], is a pyrazolate aminoalcohol complex which contains two dimethylpyrazole molecules in monodentate and bidentate-bridged coordination modes and a monodeprotonated diethanolamine molecule. Both copper atoms are involved in the formation of non-planar five-membered chelate rings. One Cu atom is in a distorted tetrahedral environment formed by the pyridine nitrogen atom of the protonated dimethylpyrazole molecule, the N atom of the deprotonated bridged dimethylpyrazole, the Cl atom and the bridged O atom of the monodeprotonated diethanolamine. The second Cu atom has an intermediate environment between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal, formed by the N atom of the deprotonated bridged dimethylpyrazole, the Cl atom and the N atom of the aminoalcohol, and two O atoms of the deprotonated and protonated OH groups. In the crystal, N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into antisymmetric chains running along the a-axis direction. Adjacent chains are connected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxyl group as donor.
