Chlorobis(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II) perchlorate hemihydrate

Y.-B. Wei and P. Yang

Abstract: The title compound, [CuCl(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]ClO₄·0.5H₂O, was formed from an aqueous solution of Cu(phen)Cl₂ (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) containing NaClO₄ and 2,2'-bipyridyl. The Cu atom is five-coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and by a Cl atom, with a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal stereochemistry. There are two cations, two anions and one water molecule in the asymmetric unit.
