Bis(ethyl­enediamine-κ(2) N,N′)bis­(methanol-κO)copper(II) benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl­ate methanol disolvate

In the cation of the title compound, [Cu(C(2)H(8)N(2))(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)](C(8)H(4)O(4))·2CH(3)OH, the Cu(II) atom lies on an inversion centre. The four N atoms of two ethyl­enediamine ligands around the Cu(II) atom form the equatorial plane, while two methanol O atoms in the axial positions complete a Jahn–Teller distorted octa­hedral coordination. The benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl­ate anion is centrosymmetric. In the crystal, C—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the cations, the anions and the methanol solvent mol­ecules.
