title: Chlorido{N-[(diethyl-amino)-dimethyl-sil-yl]anilido-κN}(N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-ethane-1,2-diamine-κN,N')cobalt(II).
abstract: In the title cobalt(II) compound, [Co(C(12)H(21)N(2)Si)Cl(C(6)H(16)N(2))], the ethane-1,2-diamine donor mol-ecule coordin-ates the metal atom in an N,N'-chelating mode, with Co-N distances of 2.136 (2) and 2.140 (3) Å. An anilide ligand connects to the Co(II) atom with a σ-bond, the Co-N(anilide) distance being 1.931 (2) Å. The four-coordinate Co(II) atom demonstrates a slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry.
