Bis[2-(2-amino-eth-yl)-1H-benzimidazole-κ(2)N(2),N(3)](nitrato-κ(2)O,O')cobalt(II) chloride trihydrate.
In the title compound, [Co(NO(3))(C(9)H(11)N(3))(2)]Cl·3H(2)O, the Co(II) atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two chelating 2-(2-amino-eth-yl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands and two O atoms from one nitrate anion in a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯O, O-H⋯Cl and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex cations, chloride anions and solvent water mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. π-π inter-actions between the imidazole and benzene rings and between the benzene rings are observed [centroid-centroid distances = 3.903 (3), 3.720 (3), 3.774 (3) and 3.926 (3) Å].
