Bis(1-tert-butyl-1H-imidazole-κN3)dichloridocobalt(II).
In the crystal structure of the title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(7)H(12)N(2))(2)], molecular units are formed by coordination of the unsubstituted N atoms of two tert-butyl-substituted imidazole molecules and two chloride ligands, which distinguishes the complex from structures of imidazolium-based dications with tetrachloridocobaltate dianions. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, related by a noncrystallographic inversion centre.
