Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu₂(C₁₃H₁₀NO₂)₂Cl₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂], the coordination geometry around the Cu^II atom is square-pyramidal, comprising one O atom from a 2-anilinobenzoate ligand, two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two Cl^- anions. In addition, there is a weak interaction of 2.700 (2) Å between the Cu^II atom and the other O atom of the 2-anilinobenzoate ligand. The two Cl^- anions bridge two Cu^II atoms to form a dimeric complex molecule, which lies on an inversion centre. There is an intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bond in the 2-anilinobenzoate ligand.
