Bis[3-methyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl] selenide methanol hemisolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(6)Se·0.5CH(3)OH, contains two independent mol­ecules of bis­[3-methyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl] selenide with similar C—Se—C bond angles [99.30 (14) and 98.26 (13)°], and a methanol molecule of solvation. In one mol­ecule, the dihedral angles between pyrazole and neighbouring pyridine rings are 18.3 (2) and 15.8 (2)°, and the corresponding angles in the other mol­ecule are 13.5 (2) and 8.3 (2)°. In the crystal, the selenide and solvent mol­ecules are linked by classical O—H⋯N and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, as well as by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional supra­molecular architecture.
