Abstract
The title compound, [CoCl2(C10H11N3)2]·2CH3OH, crystallizes with an elongated Co coordination polyhedron in a very distorted octahedral geometry. Both naphthyridine ligands coordinate to the Co atom via two N atoms in a bidentate chelating mode. The remaining coordination sites are occupied by two Cl atoms. Two uncoordinated solvent methanol molecules are hydrogen bonded to the Cl atoms. Additional N—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance 3.664 (4) Å], give rise to a three-dimensional network structure.
