Tetraethylammonium dichlorido[N,N′‐(o‐phenylene)bis(isoquinoline‐2‐carboxamidato)‐κ4N]cobaltate(III)

In the title compound, (C8H20N)[Co(C26H16N4O2)Cl2], the four N atoms of the N,N′-(o-phenyl­ene)bis­(isoquinoline-2-carboxamidate) (biqb2−) ligand form the equatorial plane of a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment around the CoIII ion, while two chloride ligands are axially coordinated. The Co—Namide distances are significantly shorter than the Co—Npyrid­yl distances. The dihedral angle between the two isoquinoline fused-ring systems is 25.72 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized, in part, by inter­molecular Ccation—H⋯Cl and Cisoquinoline—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
