title: Dichlorido[2,2'-(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-ylimino)diethanol]cadmium(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [CdCl(2)(C(16)H(17)N(3)O(2))], the metal atom exhibits a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds involving hydr-oxy groups and one of coordinated Cl atoms link complexes in the crystal packing. There is a π-π stacking inter-action between adjacent 1,10-phenanthroline rings, with a distance of 3.675 (2) Å between the centroids of the pyridine and benzene rings.
