Abstract
In the title complex, [CoCl2(CniHnN2)2]-3H20, the Co(II) ion
is situated on a twofold rotation axis and exhibits a slightly
distorted octahedral geometry and is chelated by four N atoms
of the two bidentate 2,2’-bipyridine ligands and two Cl~ ions.
The crystal packing is stabilized by hydrogen bonding formed
between chloride ions and adjacent water molecules. One of
the two independent water molecules in the asymmetric unit is
disordered over two sets of sites, each on a twofold rotation
axis, in a 0.734 (17);0.269 (17) ratio.
