Bis(3,4-dimethoxy-benzoato-?O,O')(1,10-phenanthroline-?N,N')copper(II).


ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C(9)H(9)O(4))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))], contains one half-mol-ecule, the complete mol-ecule being generated by a twofold rotation axis. The Cu(II) atom exhibits a six-coordinated distorted octa-hedral geometry with two N atoms from the phenanthroline ligand [Cu-N 2.007?(2)?Å] and four O atoms from two 3,4-dimethoxy-benzoate ligands [Cu-O 1.950?(1) and 2.524?(1)?Å]. The difference in Cu-O bond distances indicates a strong Jahn-Teller effect. In the crystal, C-H?? inter-actions result in chains of mol-ecules along the c axis.
