Abstract: The title compound, [Co(C₁₀H₂₁N₂)Cl₃], was obtained as the by-product of the attempted synthesis of a cobalt sulfate framework using 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane as an organic template. The asymmetric unit comprises two distinct molecules, and in each, the cobalt(II) ions are tetrahedrally coordinated by three chloride anions and one 1-butyldiazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-1-ium cation. The organic ligands are generated in situ, and exhibit two forms differentiated by the eclipsed and staggered conformations of the butyl groups. These molecules interact by way of C-HCl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding array.
