L.-J. Hao and T.-L. Yu

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₇H₈O₉)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·2H₂O, the Cu^II cation is hexacoordinated by two carboxylate O atoms from one of the two deprotonated carboxyl groups in the 3,3,4,4-benzophenone tetracarboxylate, and four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthrolines, showing a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. A network of hydrogen bonds links the units into a three-dimensional structure.
