Bis(4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-olato-κ(2) O,O′)bis­(ethanol-κO)cobalt(II)

The title compound, [Co(C(17)H(13)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(2)H(5)OH)(2)], is a Co(II) complex with two 4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-olate (BMPP) ligands and two coordinating ethanol mol­ecules. In the asymmetric unit, there are two half mol­ecules, with the Co(II) atoms located on inversion centres. The two cobalt complexes have slightly different geometries and in one, the ethyl group of the ethanol is disordered over two sets of sites [occupancy ratio 0.757 (7):0.243 (7)]. Each BMPP ligand is deprotonated with the negative charge delocalized. The hy­droxy group of each ethanol mol­ecule forms hydrogen bonds with a pyrazole N atom in an adjacent BMPP ligand. Weaker C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N inter­actions link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional structure.
