Created a compound unintentionally; any idea on what it is?

Here's the story;
A little 1,3 propanediol (~2mL) was placed into a plastic bottle, along with about 3mL of ~3% H2O2, then I forgot about it.

In a graduated cylinder was left a little (~1mL) solution of tetraaminecopper II sulfate + rubbing alcohol+ NH3 and possibly some Cu(OH)2.

Mistaking the first solution with water, I emptied the contents into the cylinder, immediately forming a grayish-green solution that bubble heavily and became warm. This is what it looks like:



Any ideas on what I made?

EDIT: It appears that the reaction occurs even if the 1,3 propanediol is removed.

I am all for experimentation and discovery and wished I had started younger but I think you would accomplish more by getting a beginners text book and doing some basic reactions as they are written in the text book. With all the literature and simple reactions that will solidify your understanding why not start there? That is the one thing i feel I did right was read read read read for years before I had the means to do anything, not bashing just sharing my past

Maybe I will post this on all of the really amateur questions just because so much of science is recognizing things from a previous experience it is amazing how easy "chemistry 101" is when you can identify acids and bases. I am being serious, my understanding of chemistry when i was 18 would have been insane had I had a place like this.

It leaves behind a material of the same color, but the original solution changed to a light blue color(as opposed to a deep purple-blue color of the original tetraaminecopper (ii) sulfate solution). The other solutions(both with and without the 1,3 propanediol) have not gained the same color as the the one described above.

Is it the Philosophers' Stone (blue/green Liquid version) ? If this is a Test, then i certainly Fail. It is unlikely that the Best people on this website will even bother to comment, as what you've done is just mix random quantities of different things. There is no Plan, no Idea - nothing. You may as well ask 'What is This ?' when you piss in a bucket of frogspawn.

E.g. try making pure tetrachlorocuprate CuCl4 crystals from your copper sulphate and some NaCl. CuCl4 might not be a sexy chemical to make, however you'll need a couple of important practical skills to achieve it.
