title: Bis(5-chloro-salicylato-κO)bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')cadmium(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Cd(C(7)H(4)ClO(3))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Cd atom is coordinated by two 5-chloro-salicylate ligands and two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands, displaying a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions between the 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and 5-chloro-salicylate ligands, with a centroid-centroid distance between neighbouring aromatic rings of 3.730 (1) Å.
