title: Chloridobis[diphenyl-glyoximato(1-)-κN,N'](1H-imidazole-κN)cobalt(III) hemihydrate.
abstract: The Co centre in the title compound, [Co(C(14)H(11)N(2)O(2))(2)Cl(C(3)H(4)N(2))]·0.5H(2)O, shows a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The glyoximate units of the mol-ecule are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the H atom almost in the middle of the two O atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized through inter-molecular N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The uncoordinated water mol-ecule shows half-occupation.
