title: Dichloridotetra-kis-(diniconazole)cobalt(II).
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(15)H(17)Cl(2)N(3)O)(4)], the Co(II) cation lies on an inversion center and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The equatorial positions are occupied by four N atoms from four diniconazole [systematic name: (E)-(RS)-1-(2,4-dichloro-phen-yl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pent-1-en-3-ol] ligands. The axial sites are occupied by two Cl(-) anions. In the two independent organic ligands, the triazole ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 18.28 (14) and 32.15 (14)° with respect to the dichloro-phenyl ring. Inter-molecular O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds consolidate the crystal packing.
