Bis[2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-κN (2))-1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N′]cadmium(II) bis­(perchlorate)

In the title complex, [Cd(C(14)H(9)N(5))(2)](ClO(4))(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 CdN(6) 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 π–π stacking inter­action between a pyridine ring and a symmetry-related benzene ring with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.772 (3) Å.
