Dichlorido(2,9-diprop-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')cadmium(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [CdCl(2)(C(18)H(20)N(2)O(2))], the Cd(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from a bis-chelating 2,9-diprop-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two Cl atoms in a distorted tetra-hedral 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 π-π stacking inter-actions between symmetry-related phenanthroline ring systems, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.585 (3) Å.
