Abstract: In the structure of the title complex, [Cu(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·C₃H₇NO, the Cu^II ion is pentacoordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by two O atoms of a 3-formyl-2-oxidobenzoate dianion and two N atoms of a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand occupying the basal plane and a water O atom located at the apical site. The structure displays O-HO hydrogen bonding and intermolecular - stacking interactions between 1,10-phenantroline ligands [interplanar distance of 3.448 (5) Å].
