Bis{2,6‐bis (hydroxymethyl) pyridine‐O,O,N} {μ‐bis(2‐hydroxymethylpyridyl) methanolate‐O,N} dicopper(II) di(propionate) (CCDC 143763) has been prepared and studied by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction methods at 293(2) K. The crystal structure consists of dimeric complex cation, [Cu 2 (μ‐bhmp) 2 (bhmpH) 2 ] +2 and propionate anions (bhmp ‐ 2,6‐bis(hydroxymethyl) pyridine; bhmpH ‐ 2‐(6‐hydroxymethylpyridyl) methanolate ) and propionate anions. The complex cation contains two neutral and two monodeprotonated bhmp molecules, each coordinate to one Cu(II) atom in a tridentate chelating manner, via two O atoms and N atom. The monodeprotonated bmph molecules are also tridentate coordinate via N atom and only one O atom, which serve as bridge between two CuO 4 N 2 moieties. The propionate anions are “ fixed” to the complex by the hydrogen bonds.
