Description:
<jats:p>In the title complex, [CoCl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>(C<jats:sub>7</jats:sub>H<jats:sub>6</jats:sub>N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>)], 2,2′-(methylenedithio)bi-1,3-thiazole acts as a bidentate ligand and chelates one Co<jats:sup>II</jats:sup> ion through the two N atoms to give an eight-membered symmetric unit. The Co<jats:sup>II</jats:sup> ion is located on a twofold axis and displays a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination environment, where the two Cl<jats:sup>−</jats:sup> anions occupy the remaining coordination sites. The N—Co—N and Cl—Co—Cl planes are nearly perpendicular, with a dihedral angle of 88.0 (3)°.</jats:p>
