Abstract: In the structure of the title complex, [Cu(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·CH₄O, the Cu^II ion is pentacoordinated in a tetragonal-pyramidal geometry, with two O atoms of the 3-formyl-2-oxidobenzoate (3-formylsalicylate) anion and two N atoms of 1,10-phenanthroline occupying the basal plane, and a water O atom located at the apical site. The structure displays O-HO hydrogen bonding.
