Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Thermal Stability of Complex [Cu（C_（14）H_（10）O_4）（C_（12）H_8N_2）_2]·2H_2O

The title complex has been synthesized with 2,2'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline(phen)in the solvent mixture of water and methanol.It crystallizes(C38H28CuN4O6,Mr = 700.1)in triclinic,space group P1 with a = 1.0868(2),b = 1.2175(2),c = 1.6206(3)nm,α = 110.161(2),β = 102.605(3),γ = 93.667(2)o,V = 1941.6(6)nm3,Dc = 1.198 g/cm3,Z = 2,F(000)= 722,R = 0.0558 and wR = 0.1208.The crystal structure shows that the copper atom is coordinated with one oxygen atom from 2,2'-bphenyl dicarboxylic acid molecule and four nitrogen atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline molecules,forming a distorted square-pyramidal coordination.The TG analysis shows that the title complex is stable under 160.0 ℃.
