Aqua­chloridobis(diphenyl­glyoximato-κ(2) N,N′)cobalt(III) dihydrate

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Co(C(14)H(11)N(2)O(2))(2)Cl(H(2)O)]·2H(2)O or [Co(dpgH)(2)Cl(H(2)O)]·2H(2)O, where dpgH(−) is diphenyl glyoximate, consists of one-half of a [Co(dpgH)(2)Cl(H(2)O)] complex and one solvent water mol­ecule. The complex is completed through inversion symmetry, with the Co(III) atom situated at the centre of symmetry. The coordination geometry around the Co(III) atom is distorted octa­hedral with the four N atoms of the two dpgH(−) ligands forming an approximate square plane with N—Co—N bite angles of 81.13 (14) and 98.87 (14)°. The Cl(−) ligand and the water mol­ecule are disordered in a 1:1 ratio and are in the axial positions, almost perpendicular to the plane of the glyoximate ligands [O—Co—Cl = 175.3 (10)°]. The two glyoximate ligands are linked by strong intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In addition, O—H⋯O inter­actions involving the solvent water mol­ecules and O—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter­actions are also observed. The solvent water mol­ecule is disordered over five positions with different occupancies.
