cis-Dichloridobis(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) dimethyl­formamide solvate

In the title complex, [CoCl(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·C(3)H(7)NO, which has twofold rotation symmetry, the Co(II) cation is coordinated by two 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) mol­ecules and two chloride ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. In the crystal structure, a cavity is created by six complex mol­ecules connected by C—H⋯π inter­actions and non-classical C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The cavities are occupied by the disordered dimethyl­formamide solvent mol­ecule. The C and N atoms of the C—N bond in the solvent mol­ecule also lie on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis; the remaining atoms of the solvent are statistically disordered (ratio 0.5:0.5) about this axis.
