Abstract: In the title compound, [CoCl₂(C₇H₆N₂S)₂], the Co atom has a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, involving two Cl atoms and two N atoms from the thiazole unit [Co-Cl = 2.2435 (8) and 2.2476 (8) Å, and Co-N= 2.0252 (18) and 2.0308 (17) Å]. The interplanar angle between the two benzothiazole groups is 76.44 (4)°. The amino groups, acting as donor, partipate in intra- and intermolecular N-HCl hydrogen bonds, with NCl distances in the range 3.244 (2)-3.302 (2) Å. There are also intermolecular -, N-H and C-H interactions in the crystal structure.
