[Cu(NO2)2(phen)] was prepared by the slow addition of a 25 ml solution of 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate (1.01 g, 5.0 mmol) in ethanol to a 20 ml solution of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O (1.20 g, 5.0 mmol) dissolved in water. To the resulting pale green solution, 30 ml of an aqueous solution of NaNO2 (0.69 g, 10.0 mmol) was slowly added with continuous stirring. The product was a green solution from which a single crop of dark-green crystals was produced by evaporation of the solvent. Both prisms and plates were present with prisms being the first form (C2/c symmetry) and the plates being the second form (Pbcn symmetry).
H atoms were set to ride on respective C atoms. C—H bond lengths were constrained to 0.96 Å and H-atom Uiso values to 0.08 Å2

The title molecule, (I), in this second form (Fig. 1) is very similar to that in the first form except this second form possesses twofold crystallographic symmetry. Each nitrito group is bonded to the copper(II) by an oxygen, with a short and long distance of 1.999 (3) and 2.056 (2) Å, respectively, in the first form and 1.987 (3) Å for both bonds in the second form. Each remaining O atom of the nitrito groups appears to interact with the copper at longer distances of 2.470 (3) and 2.396 (3) Å in the first form, and 2.410 (4) Å for both bonds in the second form. These two O atoms finish what could be described as a distorted tetragonal coordination around the center copper(II) in both forms. These observed Cu—O distances of 2.470 (3) and 2.396 (3) Å in the first form, and 2.410 (4) Å in the second form are all shorter than the normal non-bonded distance of ca 2.9 Å for CuII. The Cu—N(phen) distances of 1.995 (3) and 2.021 (2) Å in the first form are close to the Cu—N1 bond distance of 1.997 (2) Å in the second form. The planes of the nitrito groups are significantly displaced from the planar arrangement of the Cu and the two N atoms of the 1,10-phenanthroline including the planar ring structure. The two forms differ in their crystal packing with regard to how the phenanthroline rings on adjacent molecules overlap.
