Abstract: In the title complex, [CdCl₂(C₁₈H₂₀N₂O₂)], the Cd^II ion is coordinated by two N atoms from a bis-chelating 2,9-dipropoxy-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two Cl atoms in a distorted tetrahedral environment. The two Cd-Cl bond distances are significantly different from each other and the N-Cd-N bond angle is acute. In the crystal structure, there are - stacking interactions between symmetry-related phenanthroline ring systems, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.585 (3) Å.
