To a solution of Co(ClO4)2.6H2O and CoCl2.6H2O (1:1 molar ratio) in ethanol (10 mL) was added a solution of 2,2'-bipyridine (0.1562 g, 1 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL) and the resulting green solution was stirred for 8h at 333 K. The mixture was then filtered and the filtrate was allowed to stand at room temperature for one week to give well shaped green crystals suitable for X-ray analysis (yield 61%). Analysis calculated for C20H16Cl2N4O4Co: C 47.45, H, 3.19; N 11.07%; found: C 47.49, H 3.26, N, 11.12%.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Hydrogen bonding has been intensively investigated in organic crystalline solids, but is relatively unexplored in coordination complexes. In order to search the new functional hydrogen-bonded metal coordination network structures, chelating ligands such as 2,2'-bipyridine (Ruiz-Perez et al., 2002) were selected for study because they can simultaneously coordinate with the metal ions and provide potential intermolecular interaction sites.
In title compound (Fig. 1), the cobalt(II) atom has a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry provided by one chloride anion and four nitrogen atoms from the two chelating 2, 2'-bipyridine molecules. The equatorial plane is defined by the N2, N4 and Cl1 atoms, and the sum of the N—Co—N and N—Co—Cl angles is 360.0 (3)°. The apical positions are occupied by the N1 and N3 atoms [N1—Co1—N3 = 174.58 (14)°]. The Co—N bond lenghts (Table 1) lie in the range 1.992 (3)-2.138 (3) Å. The N1/C1–C5, N2/C6–C10 and N3/C11–C15, N4/C16–C20 pyridine rings form dihedral angles of 10.75 (12) and 4.28 (13)°, respectively. The structure is similar to that reported previously for the corresponding copper(II) compound (Harrison et al., 1981). In the crystal structure, cations and anions interact through C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) to form a three-dimensional network. The structure is further stabilized by a C—H···π interaction (C11—H11···Cg1, 2.85 Å; C11—H11—Cg1, 155°; Cg1 is the centroid of the N2/C6–C10 pyridine ring) and by aromatic π–π stacking interactions involving centrosymmetrically related N3/C11–C15 pyridine rings, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.616 (7) Å.
