Abstract: The Co^II atom in the mononuclear title complex, [Co(C₈H₅Cl₂O₃)₂(C₃H₄N₂)₂(H₂O)₂], lies on an inversion center. The Co^II atom has an octahedral coordination, involving two carboxylate O atoms of two monodentate 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate ligands, two N atoms of imidazole ligands and two water molecules. Intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds give rise to chains, which are linked by N-HO hydrogen bonds, forming a sheet structure. The molecules are further linked by - stacking interactions, generating a two-dimensional supramolecular network.
