In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu(C6H4N5)2(CH3OH)2]n, the CuII cation lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by four 5-(3-pyridyl)tetrazolate anions and two methanol molecules in an elongated distorted CuN4O2 octahedral geometry. Each 5-(3-pyridyl)tetrazolate anion bridges two CuII cations, forming a two-dimensional polymeric complex with (4,4) network topology. In the crystal structure, the two-dimensional layers are connected by intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonding, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
