Abstract: In the title complex, [Cu(L)(phen)]·2H₂O, {LH₂ = 3-[(E)-(5-bromo-2-oxidophenyl)methyleneamino]propanoic acid (C₁₀H₁₀BrNO₃) and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline (C₁₂H₈N₂)}, the Cu^II atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry by two O atoms and one N atom from an L^2- ligand, and two N atoms from a phen ligand. One of the carboxylate O atoms is in the apical position. In the crystal structure, a two-dimensional supramolecular network is formed through intermolecular N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds.
