Abstract: The crystal structure of the 1/1 adduct of cadmium dichloride with 1,10-phenanthroline, [CdCl₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)]_n, is based on an infinite chain of Cd₂Cl₂ parallelograms sharing their Cd corners. The chain propagates in a zigzag manner along the c axis of the monoclinic unit cell. The Cd atom and the phenanthroline molecule both lie on special positions of 2 symmetry.
