A methanol solution (5 ml) of 1,10-phenanthroline (0.5 mmol) was added to an aqueous solution (10 ml) of cobalt dichloride (1.0 mmol) with stirring. The mixture was stirred continuously for 2 h at room temperature, and then filtered. Slow evaporation of the solution gave single crystals of the title compound.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 Å and refined in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Herein, we report a polymorph of the title complex. This complex was determined with monoclinic P 21/c space group by Zhong et al. (2006). The corresponding six-coordinate complex with water and carbonate anion have been reported (Liu et al., 2004; Fu et al., 2006; Zhong et al., 2007).
In the present structure, the CoII ion is located in a distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1) and coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two Cl- anions. The average Co—Cl bond distance of 2.168 (2) Å and Co—N bond distance of 2.4138 (5) Å (Table 1) are somewhat shorter than those found in the reported monoclinic structure [average 2.326 (2) Å and 2.4435 (8) Å].
The molecules are linked into a two-dimensional framework (Fig. 2) via weak intermolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen bonding (Table 2). But in the reported monoclinic structure, the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by C—H···Cl hydrogen bonding and the π-π stacking.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Herein, we report a polymorph of the title complex. This complex was determined with monoclinic P 21/c space group by Zhong et al. (2006). The corresponding six-coordinate complex with water and carbonate anion have been reported (Liu et al., 2004; Fu et al., 2006; Zhong et al., 2007).
In the present structure, the CoII ion is located in a distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1) and coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two Cl- anions. The average Co—Cl bond distance of 2.168 (2) Å and Co—N bond distance of 2.4138 (5) Å (Table 1) are somewhat shorter than those found in the reported monoclinic structure [average 2.326 (2) Å and 2.4435 (8) Å].
The molecules are linked into a two-dimensional framework (Fig. 2) via weak intermolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen bonding (Table 2). But in the reported monoclinic structure, the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by C—H···Cl hydrogen bonding and the π-π stacking.
