Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N')(sulfato-κO)copper(II) ethanol monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(SO4)(C12H8N2)2]·C2H5OH, arises from the assembly of the neutral complex [Cu(SO4)(C12H8N2)2] and an ethanol solvent mol-ecule. The Cu(II) ion is five-coordinate, surrounded by two pairs of N atoms from two independent N,N'-chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands, and one O atom of monodentate sulfate ligand, in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal fashion. Spatial orientation of the ligands and the assembly in the solid state are stabilized by the C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, established between the O atoms (from the sulfate ligand and the ethanol mol-ecule) and the neighbouring 1,10-phenanthroline mol-ecules. There is also an offset face-to-face π-π stacking between the 1,10-phenanthroline ligands. The ethanol solvent mol-ecule is disorde
