Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C5H7O2)(C2N3)(C12H8N2)]·2H2O, the CuII atom is five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry with two acetylacetonate O and two phenanthroline N atoms forming the base. The apical position is occupied by the central N atom of the dicyanamide ligand. The dicyanamide N atoms are each involved in hydrogen bonds to water molecules. There are also hydrogen bonds between both the water molecules and their centrosymmetric pairs, creating a hydrogen-bonded chain along the b-axis direction.
