title: Tri-chlorido-(1-ethyl-piperazin-1-ium)cobalt(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Co(C6H15N2)Cl3], the Co(2+) ion is coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral fashion by three chloride ions and one N atom of the piperazine ring; the ring adopts a chair conformation with the N-Co and N-CEt bonds in equatorial orientations. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, generating (10-1) sheets.
