title: (μ(2)-Chlorido)-(μ(2)-pyridine-2-carboxyl-ato-1:2κN,O:O)-dichlorido(ethanol-κO)bis-[N-hy-droxy-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methan-imine-κ(2)N,N']dicobalt(II).
abstract: The dinuclear title compound, [Co(2)Cl(3)(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)(C(2)H(5)OH)], contains two six-coordinate Co(II) atoms with different octa-hedral coordination environments. One Co(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from one pyridine-2-carbaldehyde oxime ligand, by one terminal and one bridging Cl(-) ion, by one O atom from an ethanol mol-ecule, and by one O atom from a bridging pyridine-2-carboxyl-ate (picolinate) anion. The second Co(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from another pyridine-2-carbaldehyde oxime ligand, one N and one O atom from the bridging picolinate anion, and by one terminal Cl(-) and one bridging Cl(-) anion. The structure displays intra-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. Weak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions connect the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.
