In the title compound, [Cu2(C7HF4O2)4(C12H8N2)2(CH3OH)], the molecule lies on a twofold rotation axis in space group C2/c. The Cu2+ ion exhibits a distorted octahedral sphere with two N atoms from the phenanthroline ligand, three O atoms from the 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoate ligands and one O atom from a methanol molecule. The distortion from an octahedral shape is a consequence of the Jahn–Teller effect of CuII and the small bite angle for the bidentate fluorobenzoate ligand [54.50 (11)°]. The methanol molecule bridges two symmetry-related CuII atoms to form the complete molecule. In the bidentate fluorobenzoate ligand, one F atom is disordered over two positions of equal occupancy. In the crystal structure, only weak intermolecular interactions are observed.
