Abstract

A new dinuclear copper complex: [Cu2(Ophen)2]·2H2O (HOphen=2-hydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline) was hydrothermally synthesized and its structure characterized through IR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystal data: Orthorhombic, α=0.3842(5) nm, b=1.913(3) nm, c=2.691(3) nm, α=β=γ=90.00°, Z=2, V=1.978(4) nm3, Dc=1.344 mg/m3, R1=0.0839, wR1=0.1471. The ligand 2-hydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline comes from the hydroxylation of phenanthroline. There are two solvent water molecules in the compound.
