title: Bis(2-phenyl-ethyl-ammonium) tetra-chloridocobaltate(II).
abstract: Crystals of the title compound, (C(6)H(5)CH(2)CH(2)NH(3))(2)[CoCl(4)], were grown by the solvent-evaporation method. This inorganic-organic hybrid compound exhibits a layered structure in which isolated CoCl(4) inorganic layers alternate with bilayers of phenylethylammonium cations. Although the inorganic anion is zero-dimensional, the layered structure is stabilized via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The CoCl(4) tetra-hedra connect to the cations through N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, building a two-dimensional network extending parallel to (010).
