Bis(2-amino-3-methyl­pyridine)­dichlorido­cobalt(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [CoCl2(C6H8N2)2], the CoII ion is four-coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from the 2-amino-3-methyl­pyridine ligands and two chloride ions in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. A weak intra­molecular N—H⋯Cl inter­action occurs. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bond inter­actions
