Abstract: In the title coordination polymer, [Co(IDA)Cl]_n (IDA^- is the imidazolyl-1,3-diyldiacetate anion, C₇H₇N₂O₄), each Co²⁺ cation has an octahedral geometry, defined by four O atoms from four different IDA^- anions and two Cl^- anions. The IDA^- anion serves as a bridging ligand to link the Co²⁺ cations into a two-dimensional layer structure. The Co atom lies on a centre of symmetry. The Cl atom and one CH group of the imidazole ring lie on twofold rotation axes.
