(μ(2)-Chlorido)-(μ(2)-pyridine-2-carboxyl­ato-1:2κN,O:O)-dichlorido(ethanol-κO)bis­[N-hy­droxy-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methan­imine-κ(2) N,N′]dicobalt(II)

The dinuclear title compound, [Co(2)Cl(3)(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)(C(2)H(5)OH)], contains two six-coordinate Co(II) atoms with different octa­hedral coordination environments. One Co(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from one pyridine-2-carbaldehyde oxime ligand, by one terminal and one bridging Cl(−) ion, by one O atom from an ethanol mol­ecule, and by one O atom from a bridging pyridine-2-carboxyl­ate (picolinate) anion. The second Co(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from another pyridine-2-carbaldehyde oxime ligand, one N and one O atom from the bridging picolinate anion, and by one terminal Cl(−) and one bridging Cl(−) anion. The structure displays intra­molecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. Weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions connect the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network.
