title: Crystal structure of aqua-bis-[4-(methyl-sulfan-yl)benzoato-κO](1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N')copper(II) monohydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C8H7O2S)2(C12H8N2)(H2O)]·H2O, the central Cu(II) atom is five-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, one O atom from the carboxylate group of one 4-(methyl-sulfan-yl)benzoate anion and one water O atom in the equatorial plane while the apical position is occupied by the O atom of a carboxylate group of the second anion. In the crystal, a three-dimensional supra-molecular network is formed through weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯S inter-actions and π-stacking between the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and the aromatic rings of symmetry-related 4-(methyl-sulfan-yl)benzoate ligands.
