Tetra-aqua-bis(1,10-phenanthroline)bis-[μ(2)-1H-pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxyl-ato(3-)]tricopper(II) dihydrate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Cu(3)(C(5)HN(2)O(4))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, is a trinuclear copper(II) complex in which two centrosymmetrically related pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxyl-ate(3-) and 1,10-phenanthroline ligands bind three Cu(II) atoms, with one Cu(II) atom located on a center of symmetry. In each complex, there are four coordinated water mol-ecules and two solvent water mol-ecules, which participate in extensive hydrogen-bond patterns. These inter-actions, as well as π-π inter-actions between neighbouring 1,10-phenanthroline ligands [shortest atom-to-atom distance = 3.363 (3) Å], extend the crystal structure into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
