Aqua-bis(dichloro-acetato-?O)(1,10-phenanthroline-?N,N')copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [Cu(C(2)HCl(2)O(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)], the Cu(II) ion has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The equatorial positions are occupied by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand [Cu-N = 1.994?(3) and 2.027?(3)?Å] and two O atoms from dichloro-acetate ligands and a water mol-ecule [Cu-O = 1.971?(2) and 1.939?(2)?Å]. One O atom from another dichloro-acetate ligand occupies the apical positon [Cu-O = 2.152?(3)?Å]. Inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal packing also exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H?O hydrogen bonds, ?-? inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.734?(2)?Å] and short inter-molecular Cl?Cl contacts [3.306?(2) and 3.278?(2)?Å].
