title: Bis(2-bromo-acetato-κO,O')(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')copper(II).
abstract: The two halves of the title compound, [Cu(C(2)H(2)BrO(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))], are related by twofold symmetry along the b axis through the central Cu(II) ion. The Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two symmetry-related N atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four O atoms from two 2-bromo-acetate ligands, showing a distorted octahedral geometry. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions link neighbouring mol-ecules.
