Chlorobis(1,10-phenanthroline-²N,N')copper(II) bicarbonate

X.-Q. Du, M.-L. Zhu and F. Gao

Abstract: In the title compound, [CuCl(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]HCO₃, the Cu^II ion assumes a trigonal-bipyramidal CuN₄Cl coordination geometry arising from two bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands and one chloride ion, with the chloride ion in an equatorial position. The bicarbonate ion, not included in the inner coordination sphere, provides charge balance. The - stacking and weak intermolecular hydrogen-bond interactions link the component units into a three-dimensional network.
