Abstract
In the title complex, [CdCl2(C16H17N3O2)], the metal atom exhibits a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds involving hydroxy groups and one of coordinated Cl atoms link complexes in the crystal packing. There is a π–π stacking interaction between adjacent 1,10-phenanthroline rings, with a distance of 3.675 (2) Å between the centroids of the pyridine and benzene rings.
