The complex mol­ecules are linked to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular array by both hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions between coordinated water molecules and the uncoordinated carboxyl­ate O atoms of neighboring mol­ecules, and aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions between neighboring phenanthroline rings.     

Aqua­bis(2‐nitro­benzoato‐κO)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)­zinc(II)

(2,9‐Dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)(pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylato‐κ3O2,N,O6)copper(II) trihydrate
