Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₃H₆F₄O₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·C₆H₂F₄, each Cu^II ion is coordinated by two N atoms [Cu-N = 1.985 (6) and 2.052 (6) Å] from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, and three O atoms [Cu-O = 1.922 (6)-2.243 (5) Å] from two 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoate ligands and a water molecule, respectively, in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. Intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into chains parallel to the a axis. The crystal packing exhibits weak C-HO hydrogen bonds and - interactions, as evidenced by a short distance of 3.717 (13) Å between the centroids of the benzene rings of neighbouring solvent molecules. One F atom is disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are 0.57 and 0.43.
