Diaqua-²O-tris(1,10-phenanthroline)-1²N,N';2⁴N,N'--5-sulfonatoisophthalato-1:2⁴O¹,O^1':O³,O^3'-dicopper(II) perchlorate trihydrate

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu₂(C₈H₃O₇S)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃(H₂O)₂]ClO₄·3H₂O, the 5-sulfonatoisophthalate trianion functions as a bridge between two Cu atoms to form an asymmetric dinuclear cation. One Cu atom is surrounded by four O atoms, two from a 5-sulfonatoisophthalate trianion and two from water ligands, and by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. The second Cu atom is bound to two O atoms from a 5-sulfonatoisophthalate trianion and four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands. Both copper centers have a distorted octahedral geometry.
