Abstract: In the complex cation of the title compound, [CuCl(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂][N(CN)₂], the Cu atom is five-coordinated, within a distorted trigonal bipyramid, by two 1,10-phenanthroline molecules and one Cl ligand. The Cl ligand is coordinated in the equatorial plane and lies, along with the Cu atom, on the twofold rotation axis. The axial Cu-N distances are substantially shorter than the equatorial Cu-N distances. A twofold rotation axis passes through the central N atom of the anion.
