title: Dichlorido[1-(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)-2-pyridone]copper(II).
abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [CuCl(2)(C(17)H(11)N(3)O)], the Cu(II) ion is in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment. The crystal structure is stabilized by various π-π stacking inter-actions in which the benzene ring, a pyridine ring and the five-membered CuN(2)C(2) ring are involved. The centroid-centroid distances range from 3.5631 (15) to 3.5666 (16) Å.
