In the polymeric title compound, [Cu(im)Cl(phen)]
n , where im is the imidazolate anion (C3 H3 N2 ) and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline (C12 H8 N2 ), each CuII ion is five-coordinated by four basal N atoms (two from two different im anions and two from one phen ligand) and one axial Cl atom, in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. Moreover, each im anion bridges two identical {CuCl(phen)}+ cations through its two N atoms, resulting in a one-dimensional zigzag chain along the crystallographic a axis. In addition, pairs of adjacent chains are staggered by π-π interactions, generating a two-dimensional layer, and neighbouring layers are further linked by two different kinds of C-H…Cl interactions, producing a three-dimensional network.
