Abstract
The Cu II ion of the title complex, (5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-N, N')(2-formylphenolato-O,O')(nitrato-O)copper(II), [Cu(C 7 H 5 O 2 )(NO 3 )(C 14 H 12 N 2 )], displays a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination site, where one O atom from the nitrate ion is coordinated in the apical position [at 2.239 (2) A], and both O atoms from the salicylaldehydate [at 1.893 (2) and 1.963 (2) A] and both N atoms from the phenanthroline molecule [at 1.995 (2) and 2.005 (2) A] define its base. The five-membered chelate ring (CuC2N2) in the phenanthroline moiety is roughly planar, while the CuC302 ring in the salicylaldehyde moiety is planar with a slight distortion toward an envelope conformation. The crystal packing seems to be determined by π-π * interactions.
