title: catena-Poly[[bis-(2,4-dichloro-benzoato)bis-(methanol-κO)cobalt(II)]-μ-4,4'-bipyridine-κN:N'].
abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C(7)H(3)Cl(2)O(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(CH(3)OH)(2)](n), the Co(II) ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is in a slightly distorted octa-hedral CdO(4)N(2) environment, formed by two O atoms from monodentate dichloro-benzoate ligands, two O atoms from methanol ligands, and two N atoms from trans-related 4,4'-bipyridine ligands. The bipyridine ligands also lies on a twofold rotation axis and bridge the Co(II) ions, forming chains extending along [010]. An intra-chain O-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed.
