The phenanthroline chelate-ring plane (N1, C12, Cll, N2, Cu) is slightly distorted from pla- narity, whereas the five-membered ring formed by the glycinate ligand (defined by atoms N3, C18, C17, O1 and Cu), presents a distorted half-chair conformation. © 1995 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved Comment In the context of a study on the anticancer
