Abstract

In the title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(26)H(18)N(4))](n), the Co(II) atom (site symmetry 2) is tetra-hedrally coordinated by two chloride ions and two N atoms from 4,4'-bis-(benzimidazol-1-yl)biphenyl ligands: the complete ligand is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 34.67 (8)° and the angle between the benene ring and the adjacent benzimidazole ring system is 43.26 (10)°. The bridging ligand links the Co(II) atoms into chains propagating in [[Formula: see text]01].
