Dichlorido[1-(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)-2-pyridone]copper(II)

Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [CuCl2(C17H11N3O)], the CuII ion is in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment. The crystal structure is stabilized by various π–π stacking interactions in which the benzene ring, a pyridine ring and the five-membered CuN2C2 ring are involved. The centroid–centroid distances range from 3.5631 (15) to 3.5666 (16) Å.
