Abstract: In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Cu₂(C₈H₄O₄)Cl₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂], each Cu atom is surrounded by an O atom from a terephthalate dianion, a water molecule, a Cl atom and the N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline heterocycle in an octahedral arrangement. The terephthalate dianion, which functions as a bridge between two Cu atoms, lies on a special position of $\overline 1$ site symmetry.
