In the title compound, [U(C17H13N2O2)2O2(CH3OH)]·CH3OH, the UVI ion is coordinated by seven O atoms in a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry with two 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-benzoyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-olate groups with two O atoms in a bidentate chelating coordination mode and by three O atoms, one of which is from a methanol ligand. The crystal packing can be described by alternating layers of complex molecules along the a axis. The structure is stabilized by O—HN and O—HO hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions.

Molecules of the title compound, [Cu(C21H17N3O4)(H2O)], lie across a crystallographic mirror plane. The CuII atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal environment by two phenolate O atoms and two imine N atoms of the tetradentate Schiff base anion in the basal plane and one water molecule in the apical position. Because of symmetry, the pyridine N atom and the corresponding C atom at the 4-position of the pyridine ring are disordered. The crystal packing can be described as being composed of alternating layers stacked along [001]. Intramolecular C—HN and intermolecular C—HO and O—HO hydrogen-bonding interactions, as well as C—Hπ and π–π stacking interactions [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.799 (8) Å and interplanar distance = 3.469 (2) Å] are observed.
