While bis(1-methyl-1 H-tetra­zol-5-yl)diazene, C4H6N10, (I), has no crystallographically imposed symmetry, in the two title chloro­copper(I) complexes, [Cu2Cl2(C4H6N10)] n, (II), and [CuCl(C4H6N10)] n, (III), the organic ligands lie across centres of inversion; in (III), the Cu and Cl atoms additionally lie about a twofold rotation axis in the space group P2/ c. Complex (II) forms a two-dimensional coordination polymer containing tetra­hedrally coordinated CuI atoms, and complex (III) forms a one-dimensional coordination polymer containing five-coordinate square-pyramidal CuI atoms.

The crystal structure of the title polymeric complex, [CuCl(2)(C(3)H(6)N(4)O)(2)](n), was obtained by the Rietveld refinement from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data collected at room temperature. The unique Cu(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment. In the hydroxy-ethyl group, all H atoms, the O atom and its attached C atom are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.6 and 0.4. The OH group is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond.
