CoN6(OCl)2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four CoN6(OCl)2 clusters. Co(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one N(4), two equivalent N(2), two equivalent N(3), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(4) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent N(3) atoms. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Co(1) and one N(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Co(1) atom.
CoN6(OCl)2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four CoN6(OCl)2 clusters. Co(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one N(4), two equivalent N(2), two equivalent N(3), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. The Co(1)-N(4) bond length is 2.02 Å. Both Co(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 1.97 Å. Both Co(1)-N(3) bond lengths are 1.99 Å. Both Co(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.27 Å. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(4) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. The N(1)-N(4) bond length is 1.33 Å. Both N(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.24 Å. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent N(3) atoms. There is one shorter (1.40 Å) and one longer (1.42 Å) N(2)-N(3) bond length. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Co(1) and one N(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Co(1) atom.
