Aqua(3-formyl-2-oxidobenzoato-κ2O1,O2)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)copper(II) methanol solvate

In the structure of the title complex, [Cu(C8H4O4)(C12H8N2)(H2O)]·CH4O, the CuII ion is pentacoordinated in a tetragonal–pyramidal geometry, with two O atoms of the 3-formyl-2-oxidobenzoate (3-formylsalicylate) anion and two N atoms of 1,10-phenanthroline occupying the basal plane, and a water O atom located at the apical site. The structure displays O—H...O hydrogen bonding
