In the title compound, [Cr(C7H2N2O7)Cl(C12H8N2)(H2O)], the CrIII atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, with the chelating phenantroline and 3,5-dinitrosalicylate ligands in trans positions. In the crystal, molecules are connected via O—HO hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional framework parallel to (100). In addition, there are π–π stacking interactions between phenanthroline ligands along the c axis, with a mean interplanar distance of 3.456 (4) Å.
