Abstract: The title compound, [Co(C₂N₃)(C₆H₆ClN)₂]_n, is a polymeric cobalt(II) complex with the metal ion located on an inversion centre. The Co^II ion is six-coordinated by two N atoms of two 4-chloromethylpyridine ligands and four N atoms from four dicyanamide ligands, forming a slightly distorted octahedral configuration. In the crystal structure, neighbouring Co atoms are linked together by double dicyanamide bridges to form a polymeric cobalt(II) complex.
