Abstract
The crystal of the title compound is monoclinic, with a=19.099(6), b=8.100(3), c=16.177(5) Å, β=100.54(5)°, the space group of C2/c, and Z=4. The structure was determined from the counter data and was refined to R=0.083 for 1736 non-zero reflections. The coordination geometry of the copper atom is best described as a distorted trigonal bipyramid, in which the equatorial plane is composed of Cu, two N, and water O atoms, and the axial positions are occupied by two N atoms. The complex has a crystallographically imposed twofold axis which passes through the copper and the water oxygen atoms at the equatorial plane. The two phenanthroline ligands are related with each other by this axis.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
