T.-Q. Shi, D.-S. Liu, G.-P. Zhou and S.-F. Liu

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CuCl(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]I·H₂O, consists of a [CuCl(phen)₂]⁺ cation (phen = l,10-phenanthroline), an iodide anion and a water molecule of crystallization. The coordination geometry around the Cu^II atom is distorted trigonal-bipyramidal. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular - stacking interactions and C-HO, O-HCl and O-HI hydrogen bonds.
