(Benzoyl­acetonato)­chloro(1,10‐phen­anthroline)copper(II)

The crystal structure of the title compound, chloro(1,10‐phenanthroline‐N,N′)(1‐phenyl‐1,3‐butane­dion­ato‐O,O′)copper(II), [CuCl(C₁₀H₉O₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)], has been determined. The Cu^II ion displays a distorted square‐pyramidal coordination, being linked to the two O atoms of the benzoyl­acetonate ligand and the two N atoms of the 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand in the basal plane, and the Cl atom in the apical site. TheCu—N, Cu—O and Cu—Cl bond lengths are 2.043 (2)/2.025 (2), 1.914 (2)/1.941 (2) and 2.485 (1) Å, respectively.
