title: Aqua-bis(2-chloro-acetato-κO)(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')copper(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Cu(C(2)H(2)ClO(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)], the Cu(II) ion is five-coordinated by two N atoms [Cu-N = 2.005 (2) and 2.029 (2) Å] from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, two O atoms [Cu-O = 1.943 (2)-1.966 (2) Å] from two 2-chloro-acetate ligands and one water mol-ecule [Cu-O = 2.253 (2) Å] in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The crystal structure exhibits inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, short Cl⋯Cl contacts [3.334 (1) Å] and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance 3.621 (11) Å].
