title: Di-μ(4)-succinato-tetra-kis[aqua-phenanthrolinecopper(II)] tetra-nitrate tetra-hydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(4)(C(4)H(4)O(4))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(4)(H(2)O)(4)](NO(3))(4)·4H(2)O, the complete tetra-cation is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. Both unique Cu(2+) ions are coordinated by an N,N'-bidentate phenanthroline mol-ecule, two O-monodentate bis-bridging succinate dianions and a water mol-ecule, resulting in distorted CuN(2)O(3) square-based pyramidal geometries for the metal ions, with the water mol-ecule occupying the apical site. In the crystal, the components are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions [minimum centroid-centroid separation = 3.537 (2) Å].
