Bis{1-[(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)methyl]-2-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN3}dichloridocobalt(II)

Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [CoCl2(C11H11N5)2], the CoII atom is four-coordinated by two ligand N atoms and two Cl atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, molecules are stacked through π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.473 (2), 3.807 (3), 3.883 (2) and 3.676 (2) Å], forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
