Cover illustration: Pyrazole-based ligands are ubiquitous in the literature for their ability to build mono-metal complexes and molecules containing multiple metal centers. In particular, 3,5-diphenylpyrazole and its derivatives have been used to form numerous copper complexes with the metal in either the 1+ or 2+ oxidation states. The compound di--chlorido-bis[chlorido(dimethylformamide-
N)(3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-
N2)copper(II)], Cu2(
-Cl)2Cl2(3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole)2(DMF)2, where DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide, consists of two five-coordinate CuII ions with a distorted square-pyramidal geometry connected via two
-Cl anions. The coordination environment of each CuII ion is completed by a terminal chloride anion, a nitrogen-coordinated 3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole molecule, and a DMF molecule. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the molecules generates a two-dimensional sheet. See: Naugle, Keller, Zeller & Zaleski [IUCrData (2017). 3, x181186].
