Abstract

In the title compound, [Co(C8H5Cl2O3)(C12H12N2)], the CoII atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four O atoms from two chelating 2,4-dichloro­phen­oxy­acetate ligands and two N atoms from a 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, displaying a distorted octa­hedral geometry. A three-dimensional supra­molecular structure is formed through inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.779 (2) Å].
