The title compound, [Cu(NO3)(C12H8N2)2][C(CN)3], is formed of discrete [Cu(NO3)(phen)2](+) complex cations (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) and C(CN)3(-) counter-anions. The Cu(II) atom has an asymmetric tetragonal-bipyramidal (4 + 1+1) stereochemistry with a pseudo-C2 symmetry axis bis-ecting the nitrate ligand and passing through the Cu(II) atom between the two phen ligands. The four N atoms of the phen ligands coordinate to the Cu(II) atom with Cu-N distances in the range 1.974 (2)-2.126 (2) Å, ...[more]
