Abstract

A new polymorph of the title cobalt(II) complex, [CoCl2(C12H8N2)2], is reported here. A previous study reported a monoclinic form of this complex [Zhong, Zeng & Luo (2006), Acta Cryst. E62, m3330-m3332]. In the present orthorhombic structure, the CoII ion is located in a distorted octa-hedral geometry and coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two Cl- anions. The mol-ecules are linked into a two-dimensional framework via weak C - H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding.
