Abstract: In the title complex, [Cd(C₁₄H₉N₅)₂](ClO₄)₂, the Cd^II ion is coordinated by two tridentate 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline ligands in a distorted octahedral CdN₆ environment. In both 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline ligands, the 1,2,4-triazolyl ring and the 1,10-phenanthroline ring system are essentially coplanar [maximun deviations of 0.136 (7) and 0.273 (5) Å, respectively]. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the ligands is 89.65 (4)°. In the crystal structure, there is a weak - stacking interaction between a pyridine ring and a symmetry-related benzene ring with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.772 (3) Å.
