The title complex (C26H18CuN2O 6, Mr = 517.96) has been synthesized by the reaction of a-furanacrylic acid with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in the solvent mixture of water and methanol. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 2.2927(4), b = 1.01248(18), c = 1.05061(18) nm, β= 111.188(3)°, V = 2.274(7) nm3, Dc = 1.513 g/cm3, Z = A, F(000) = 1060, μ = 1.007mm-1, R = 0.0320 and wR = 0.0781. The crystal structural analysis shows that the copper atom is coordinated with four oxygen atoms from two α-furacrylic acids and two nitrogen at...
