title: catena-Poly[cobalt(II)-di-μ-chlorido-κCl:Cl-μ-1,5-dimethyl-1H-tetra-zole-κN:N]: an X-ray powder investigation.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(3)H(6)N(4))](n), contains two Co atoms, both lying on inversion centres, two Cl atoms and one 1,5-dimethyl-tetra-zole ligand. The coordination polyhedra of both Co atoms adopt flattened octa-hedral geometry, with two N atoms from two ligands in axial positions and four Cl atoms in equatorial sites. Neighbouring Co atoms are linked together via two bridging Cl atoms and one tetra-zole ring to form polymeric chains running along the a axis.
