Dichlorobis[1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-1H-benzimidazole-kappa N-3]cobalt(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [CoCl2(C11H14N2O)(2)], was synthesized from 1-(2-ethoxyethyl) benzimidazole and cobalt dichloride in ethanol. The Co-II atom is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral environment by two Cl atoms and two N atoms. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C-H...Cl and C-H...O interactions.
