Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 113 K; mean (C-C) = 0.003 Å; R factor = 0.033; wR factor = 0.086; data-to-parameter ratio = 16.2.In the title compound, [Cu(C 2 H 5 N 4 O 2 ) 2 (CH 3 OH) 2 ]Á2C 2 H 6 -N 4 O 2 Á2CH 3 OH, the Cu II atom, lying on an inversion center, is coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,2-diamino-2-hydroxyiminoethanone oximate anion and two O atoms from two methanol molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. The two uncoordinating oxamide dioxime molecules, each lying on an inversion center, adopt a trans conformation. In the crystal, O-HÁ Á ÁO, N-HÁ Á ÁO and N-HÁ Á ÁN hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules and the oxamide dioxime and methanol molecules.
