Abstract
In the title complex, [CoCl(C12H8N2)2(H2O)]Cl·2.5H2O, the CoII ion is coordinated by four N atoms of two bis-chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands, one water molecule and a chloride ligand in a distorted octahedral environment. The dihedral angle between the two phen ligands is 84.21 (3)°. In the crystal structure, complex molecules and chloride ions are linked into centrosymmetric four-component clusters by intermolecular O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. Of the 2.5 solvent water molecules in the asymmetric unit, two were refined as disordered over two sites with fixed occupancies of ratios 0.50:0.50 and 0.60:0.40, while another was refined with half occupancy.
