In the title compound, [CuCl(2)(C(14)H(12)N(2))], the complex molecule has m symmetry, with the mirror plane oriented parallel to the planar molecule and the ligated Cu(II) atom. The metal centre has a distorted tetra-hedral coordination formed by two N atoms from one 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two Cl atoms. There is inter-molecular π-π stacking between adjacent 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligands, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.733 (2)Å. ...[more]
