Di-μ-chlorido-bis­[aqua­(2,2′-bipyridine-κ(2) N,N′)chloridocobalt(II)]

The title complex, [Co(2)Cl(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], is composed of two Co(II) atoms, each hexa­coordinated by three Cl atoms, one 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) ligand and one water mol­ecule in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. Neighboring Co(II) atoms are linked together by two Cl bridges, forming a dinuclear Co(II) complex with inversion symmetry. There are inter­molecular O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and inter­molecular π–π stacking inter­actions between adjacent bpy ligands [centroid–centroid distance = 3.617 (2) Å] in the structure.
