Abstract: In the title molecule, [Cu(C₈H₇O₃)(ClO₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)], the Cu^II ion is five-coordinated by two N atoms [Cu-N = 1.995 (3) and 2.022 (3) Å] from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, two O atoms [Cu-O = 1.908 (2) and 1.927 (2) Å] from an o-vanillin ligand and one O atom [Cu-O = 2.510 (3) Å] from a perchlorate anion in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. Three O atoms of the perchlorate anion are rotationally disordered between two orientations, with occupancies of 0.525 (13) and 0.475 (13). In the crystal structure, two molecules related by a centre of symmetry are paired in such a way that the phenolate O atom from one molecule completes the distorted octahedral Cu coordination in another molecule [CuO = 2.704 (2) Å].
