Crystal structure of aquabis[4-(methylsulfanyl)benzoato-κO](1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)copper(II) monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C8H7O2S)2(C12H8N2)(H2O)]·H2O, the central CuII atom is five-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, one O atom from the carboxylate group of one 4-(methylsulfanyl)benzoate anion and one water O atom in the equatorial plane while the apical position is occupied by the O atom of a carboxylate group of the second anion. In the crystal, a three-dimensional supramolecular network is formed through weak intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...S interactions and π-stacking between the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and the aromatic rings of symmetry-related 4-(methylsulfanyl)benzoate ligands.
