Monoclinic form of di­chloro­bis­(quinoline-N)­cobalt(II)

In the structure of the title complex, [CoCl2(C9H7N)2], the Co atom is coordinated by two chloride ligands and by two N atoms from two quinoline ligands. The geometry around the Co atom is slightly distorted tetrahedral, with Co—N bond lengths of 2.0697 (18) A, Co—Cl bond lengths of 2.2445 (7) A, and N—Co—N and Cl—Co—Cl bond angles of 107.16 (10) and 113.44 (4)°, respectively. The molecule has twofold rotation symmetry.
