Abstract: In the title complex, [Cd(C7H4ClO3)2(C12H8N2)2], the Cd atom is coordinated by two 5-chlorosalicylate ligands and two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands, displaying a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds and [pi]-[pi] interactions between the 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and 5-chlorosalicylate ligands, with a centroid-centroid distance between neighbouring aromatic rings of 3.730 (1) Å.
