Aqua-bis(2-iodo-acetato-?O)(1,10-phenanthroline-?N,N')copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Cu(C(2)H(2)IO(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms [Cu-N = 2.013?(4) and 2.024?(4)?Å] from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and three O atoms [Cu-O = 1.940?(4)-2.261?(4)?Å] from two carboxyl ligands and a water mol-ecule in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. One iodo-acetate O atom [Cu-O = 2.775?(4)?Å] completes the coordination to form a distorted octa-hedron. Inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers, which are further packed by ?-? inter-actions between the 1,10-phenanthroline ligands into layers parallel to the ab plane. The crystal packing also exhibits short inter-molecular I?I contacts of 3.6772?(9)?Å and weak C-H?O hydrogen bonds.
