title: Dichlorobis(1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-N3)-cobalt(II).
abstract: The metal atom in the title complex, [CoCl2(C8H8N2)2], has a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination involving two Cl- ions and two N atoms from the aromatic groups. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two 1-methylbenzimidazole ligands is 117.7 (7) degrees.
