Aqua{N-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]glycinato(2−)-κ2 N,O}(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II)

In the title complex, [Cu(C9H9NO4S)(C12H8N2)(H2O)], the CuII ion is coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by the two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, one N atom from the deprotonated amino group of an N-tosylglycinate ligand, one O atom from the carboxylate part of the N-tosylglycinate ligand and a water O atom. Intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water H atoms link neighboring molecules into supramolecular chains along [010]. Weak π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances of 3.456 (1) and 3.691 (1) Å] between the benzene rings of 1,10-phenanthroline ligands of adjacent molecules extend the chains into a layer structure parallel to (001).

The molecular structure and crystal packing diagram of the title compound are presented in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively.
The asymmetric unit contains one copper cation, one Ts-gly anion, one phen molecule and one coordinated water molecule.

Experimental
To a solution of Ts-gly (1 mmol) in water-DMF 1:1 (10 ml), an aqueous solution (5 ml) of CuCl 2 .2H 2 O (1 mmol) and a solution of 1,10-phenanthroline (1 mmol) in ethanol (95%, 5 ml) was added. After refluxing for 12 h at 343 K, the mixture was filtered off while hot. The green single crystals suitable for a X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of supplementary materials sup-2 Refinement H atoms bonded to C were placed geometrically and treated as riding with C-H = 0.93-0.97 Å and U iso (H) = 1.2U eq (C).
The water H atoms were found in difference Fourier maps and refined with O-H = 0.85 Å and U iso (H) = 1.5U eq (O). Fig. 1. The molecular structure of the title compound. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 30% probability level. All hydrogen atoms have been omitted for clarity reasons.
