Description
Summary:The title compound, [CoCl2(C21H17ClN2)]·0.5CH2Cl2, crystallizes from dichloromethane as a 2:1 solvate [CoCl2L]2·CH2Cl2 (L is 2-chloro-9-mesityl-1,10-phenanthroline). There are two independent CoCl2L molecules in the asymmetric unit and both molecules have similar conformations. They are connected by a weak C—H...π interaction involving the mesityl ring. The cobalt center is four-coordinated by the two N-atom donors of the bidentate ligand and two chloride ions in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The packing of the molecules is stabilized by weak slipped π–π stacking interactions between symmetry-related phenanthroline groups.
