Abstract
In the title compound, [CoCl2(C26H18N4)]n, the CoII atom (site symmetry 2) is tetrahedrally coordinated by two chloride ions and two N atoms from 4,4′-bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)biphenyl ligands: the complete ligand is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 34.67 (8)° and the angle between the benene ring and the adjacent benzimidazole ring system is 43.26 (10)°. The bridging ligand links the CoII atoms into chains propagating in [01].

In the title compound, [CoCl2(C26H18N4)]n, the CoII atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by two chloride ions and two N atoms from 4,40 -bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)biphenyl ligands: the complete ligand is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry
The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry
The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2
Summary
R factor = 0.053; wR factor = 0.124; data-to-parameter ratio = 18.0
