Bis(2-bromoacetato-κ2O,O′)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)copper(II)

Abstract

The two halves of the title compound, [Cu(C2H2BrO2)2(C12H8N2)], are related by twofold symmetry along the b axis through the central CuII ion. The CuII ion is coordinated by two symmetry-related N atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four O atoms from two 2-bromoacetate ligands, showing a distorted octahedral geometry. Weak intermolecular C—H...O interactions link neighbouring molecules.
