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.
