Abstract: In the title complex, [CoCl₂(C₁₁H₇NO)₂], the Co^II atom lies on a twofold rotation axis four-coordinated by two Cl atoms and two N-donor atoms from two 1-benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine ligands, giving a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. The N/Co/N and Cl/Co/Cl planes are nearly perpendicular, with a dihedral angle of 87.1 (1)°. The dihedral angle between the two benzofuropyridine ligands is 45.8 (1)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane by C-HCl hydrogen bonds.
