title: Aqua-(furan-2-carboxyl-ato-κO)(furan-2-carboxyl-ato-κO,O')(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')copper(II) methanol hemisolvate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C(5)H(3)O(3))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)]·0.5CH(3)OH, contains two Cu(II) complex mol-ecules and one methanol solvent mol-ecule with the metal centres in strongly distorted octahedral coordination. The coordinated water mol-ecule is involved in inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, which links the complex mol-ecules into chains propagating along the c axis. Neighbouring chains inter-act further via π-π inter-actions between the aromatic rings of 1,10-phenanthroline fragments [centroid-centroid distances = 3.726 (4) and 3.750 (4) Å].
