• Description: Reaction of Cu-II salts with phenanthroline and oxalate (ox) or oxamate (oxm) gives [Cu(phen)(ox)(H2O)] . H2O or [Cu(phen)(oxm)(H2O)] . H2O complexes while direct treatment of Cu-II salts with oxalate or oxamate gives [NH4](2)[Cu(ox)(2)] and [Cu(oxm)(2)(H2O)(2)] respectively. The X-ray structures of one example of each system, aquo-oxamato-phenanthroline-copper(II)-dihydrate and the polymeric ammonium-bis(aquo)-tetraoxalato-dicopper(II)-dihydrate, are reported.
