Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CoCl₂(C₃H₆N₄)]_n, contains two Co atoms, both lying on inversion centres, two Cl atoms and one 1,5-dimethyltetrazole ligand. The coordination polyhedra of both Co atoms adopt flattened octahedral geometry, with two N atoms from two ligands in axial positions and four Cl atoms in equatorial sites. Neighbouring Co atoms are linked together via two bridging Cl atoms and one tetrazole ring to form polymeric chains running along the a axis.
