Dichloridobis(7-amino-2,4-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine-κ(2) N,N′)cobalt(II) methanol disolvate

The title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(10)H(11)N(3))(2)]·2CH(3)OH, crystallizes with an elongated Co coordination polyhedron in a very distorted octa­hedral geometry. Both naphthyridine ligands coordinate to the Co atom via two N atoms in a bidentate chelating mode. The remaining coordination sites are occupied by two Cl atoms. Two uncoordinated solvent methanol mol­ecules are hydrogen bonded to the Cl atoms. Additional N—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, and π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance 3.664 (4) Å], give rise to a three-dimensional network structure.
