In the title compound, [Cu(CHO(2))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]CHO(2)·6H(2)O, the Cu atom is coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal fashion by an O atom of the formate ligand and four N atoms of two phenanthroline ligands with Cu-O and Cu-N distances of 2.020 (3) and 1.978 (3)-2.177 (3) Å, respectively. Hydrogen bonding O-H⋯O between water molecules and between water anions as well as π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances between phen rings = 3.38 (7) and 3.40 (5) Å] are responsible for ...[more]
