In the title mononuclear complex, [Cu(C14H10O3)(C12H8N2)(H2O)], the CuII atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand, two O atoms from a benzilate ligand and one O atom from a water molecule in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The is stabilized via intermolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C—H⋯π interactions and π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine and benzene rings of neighboring phen ligands [centroid–centroid distances = 3.684 (2), 3.564 (2) and 3.380 (1) Å].

A mixture of copper chloride (0.134 g, 1 mmol), benzilic acid (0.228 g, 1 mmol), phen (0.18 g, 1 mmol), NaOH (0.06 g, 1.5 mmol), EtOH (6 ml) and H2O (6 ml) was placed in a 23 ml Teflon-lined reactor, which was heated to 358 K for 8 h and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10 K h-1. The blue crystals obtained were washed with water and dried in air.
H atoms on C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms of water molecule were found in a difference Fourier map and refined as riding atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The highest residual electron density peak is located 0.73 Å from N2 and the deepest hole is located 1.54 Å from Cu1.

In the structural investigations of benzilate complexes, it has been found that the benzilic acid functions as a multidentate ligand with versatile binding and coordination modes (Mora et al., 2003; Rojas et al., 2003). In this paper, we report the structure of the title compound, a copper(II) complex obtained by the reaction of benzilic acid, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and copper chloride in an alkaline aqueous solution.
As depicted in Fig. 1, the CuII atom exists in a square-pyramidal environment, defined by two O atoms from one benzilate ligand, two N atoms from one phen ligand and one water molecule. The crystal structure is stabilized via intermolecular O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds, C—H···π interactions (Table 1) and π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine and benzene rings of neighboring phen ligands (Fig. 2), with the centroid–centroid distances of Cg2···Cg3i = 3.684 (2), Cg3···Cg4i = 3.564 (2) and Cg4···Cg4ii = 3.380 (1) Å [Cg2, Cg3 and Cg4 are the centroids of the N1, C15, C16, C17, C23, C25 ring, the N2, C20, C21, C22, C24, C26 ring and the C18, C19, C23, C24, C25, C26 ring, respectively.
