(Acetato-²O,O')bis(1,10-phenanthroline-²N,N')copper(II) trifluoroacetate tetrahydrate

J. Wang and Z. Jin

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(CH₃CO₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂](CF₃CO₂)·4H₂O, the Cu^II atom shows a distorted octahedral coordination with four N atoms [Cu-N = 2.015 (3)-2.244 (3) Å] from the two phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from the acetate [Cu-O = 1.953 (3) and 2.764 (3) Å]. Strong intermolecular O-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions consolidate the crystal packing. The F atoms of the anion are disordered over two positions in a 0.5233 (3):0.4767 (3) ratio.
