Aqua­(1,10-phenanthroline)bis­(trichloro­acetato)copper(II)

In the title compound, [Cu(C₂Cl₃O₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)], the copper(II) ion is five-coordinated by four basal atoms (two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline mol­ecule and two O atoms from two trichloro­acetate anions) and one axial aqua mol­ecule, in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. Moreover, two adjacent mononuclear units are associated by intra- and inter­molecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a grid dimer. The hydrogen-bonding pattern could be described in graph-set terminology as R₁¹(6)R₁²(8).

Tetra­aqua­bis(uracil-1-acetato)cadmium(II)

In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd(C₆H₅N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₄], the Cd^II cation is coordinated by two uracil-1-acetate anions via carboxyl­ate O atoms, and four water mol­ecules, forming a six-coordinate octa­hedral environment. O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions link adjacent mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network.
