title: Dichloridobis(7-amino-2,4-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine-κN,N')cobalt(II) methanol disolvate.
abstract: The title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(10)H(11)N(3))(2)]·2CH(3)OH, crystallizes with an elongated Co coordination polyhedron in a very distorted octa-hedral geometry. Both naphthyridine ligands coordinate to the Co atom via two N atoms in a bidentate chelating mode. The remaining coordination sites are occupied by two Cl atoms. Two uncoordinated solvent methanol mol-ecules are hydrogen bonded to the Cl atoms. Additional N-H⋯O, C-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance 3.664 (4) Å], give rise to a three-dimensional network structure.
