In the title complex, [Cu(C2HCl2O2)2(C12H8N2)(H2O)], the CuII ion has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The equatorial positions are occupied by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand [Cu—N = 1.994 (3) and 2.027 (3) Å] and two O atoms from dichloroacetate ligands and a water molecule [Cu—O = 1.971 (2) and 1.939 (2) Å]. One O atom from another dichloroacetate ligand occupies the apical positon [Cu—O = 2.152 (3) Å]. Intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal packing also exhibits weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.734 (2) Å] and short intermolecular Cl⋯Cl contacts [3.306 (2) and 3.278 (2) Å].

A mixture of Cu(CH3COO)2*3H2O(204 mg, 1 mmol) and 1,10-phenanthroline (185 mg, 1 mmol) in methanol(30 ml) was placed in a Teflon-lined stainless steel Parr bomb that was heated at 403 K for 48 h. The bomb was then cooled down to the room temperature, the solution was filtered. The solvent was removed from the filtrate under vacuum, and the solid residue was recrystallized from diethyl ether; blue crystals suitable for X-Ray diffraction study were obtained. Yield, 0.760 g, 83%. m.p. 573 K. Analysis, calculated for C16H12Cl4CuN2O5: C 46.73, H 2.94, N 6.81; found: C 46.95, H 2.56, N 7.07%. The elemental analyses were performed with a Perkine Elemer PE2400II instrument.
C-bound H atoms were geometrically positioned (C—H 0.93–0.97 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C). The water H atoms were located on a Fourier map and isotropically refined with the distance restraints O—H=0.85 (2) Å.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Dichloroacetic acid and its derivatives are biologically active compounds which have been widely studied because of their fascinating topologies and potential applications as functional materials (Múdra et al., 2003; Lin et al., 2001; Zhu et al., 2006;). In our study of this field, we selected 1,10-phenanthroline as the co-ligand to continue our exploration to the Cu complexes with the dichloroacetic acid ligand. Herein we report the structure of the title complex (I).
In (I) (Fig. 1), the Cu ion has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination. Two N atoms from 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two oxygen atoms from a dichloroacetic acid ligand form a basal plane, and an aqua atom occupy the axial apical position. Intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal packing exhibits also weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds, π–π interactions and short intermolecular Cl···Cl contacts (Table 1).
