Abstract: | In the cationic complex present in the title compound, Cu(C12H8N2)3]Hg2I6]·C2H6OS·H2O, the copper(II) center adopts a highly distorted octahedral geometry, ligated by the six N atoms of three 1,10-phenanthroline ligands. The structure includes an iodide-bridged dimeric mercurate anion for neutrality and uncoordinated dimethyl sulfoxide and water molecules. |
