1-Phenyl-piperazine-1,4-diium tetra-chlorido-cobalt(II).
In the title mol-ecular salt, (C10H16N2)[CoCl4], the piperazine ring of the phenyl-piperazine dication adopts a chair conformation and the phenyl ring occupies an equatorial orientation. In the tetra-chlorido-cobaltate(II) dianion, the Co-Cl bond lengths for the chloride ions not accepting hydrogen bonds are significantly shorter than those for the chloride ions accepting such bonds. In the crystal, the components are linked by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, generating [001] chains.
