(Received 26 July 2012; accepted 15 August 2012; online 23 August 2012)

In the title mol­ecular salt, (C4H10NO)2[CoCl4], the morpholinium cations adopt chair conformations and the tetra­chloridocobaltate(II) anion is significantly distorted from regular tetra­hedral geometry [Cl—Co—Cl = 102.183 (19)–117.59 (2)°]. The Co—Cl bond lengths for the chloride ions not accepting hydrogen bonds are significantly shorter than those for the chloride ions accepting such bonds. In the crystal, the components are linked by N—H⋯O and N—H⋯Cl and bifurcated N—H⋯(O,Cl) hydrogen bonds to generate (100) sheets.

Experimental top

CoCl2 (2.37 g, 10 mmol), morpholine (1.01 g, 10 mmol) and 20% aqueous HCl in a molar ratio of 1:1:1 were mixed and dissolved in sufficient water by heating to 353 K forming a clear solution. The reaction mixture was cooled slowly to room temperature, blue blocks of the title compound were formed, collected and washed with dilute aqueous HCl.

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.97 Å and N—H = 0.90 Å, and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C, N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
