In the molecule of the title compound, C14H8Cl2N4S, all the ring atoms in the pyrazolopyrimidine system are almost coplanar, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.027 (2) Å for a C atom. The conformation of the methylsulfanyl group is antiperiplanar, with a torsion angle of −176.7 (2)°. A weak intermolecular C—H...N hydrogen bond and a Cl...N halogen bond [Cl...N = 3.196 (5) Å] with a nearly linear N...Cl—C angle [174.2 (1)°] link the molecules into a two-dimensional assembly. Face-to-face π–π stacking, with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.557 (2) Å and an angle of 7.1 (1)° between the two planes, completes the intermolecular interactions in the solid state.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(24)H(14)Cl(3)NO(2)S, the tetra-hydro-pyridine ring adopts a half-chair conformation and both pendant benzene rings are oriented nearly perpendicular to the thio-chromeno[2,3-b]pyridine system.

The title complex, [Cu4I4(C21H15N3)2], lies on an inversion centre located at the centroid of a four-membered ring formed by one of the crystallographically independent CuI ions and a triply bridging iodide ligand. The 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (phterpy) ligand chelates each of the independent CuI centres in a bidentate fashion, with the N atom of the central pyridyl ring bridging the two CuI centres and those of the outer pyridyl rings binding the two independent CuI ions individually to form a dinuclear system. These are further linked by triply-bridging I− anions to form the centrosymmetric tetranuclear units. One independent Cu atom binds to each of the inversion-related I− anions while the other coordinates to one bridging and one terminal monodentate iodide ligand. The outer pyridyl rings are twisted relative to the central pyridyl ring of the phterpy ligand with dihedral angles of 18.7 (1) and 35.6 (1)°, respectively.
