The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(C(9)H(8)Cl(2)NO)(3)], contains three independent mol-ecules. In each mol-ecule, the Co(III) ion is coordinated by an O atom and an N atom from three bidentate 2,4-dichloro-6-(ethyl-imino-meth-yl)phenolate ligands in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment. In the crystal, a weak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond is observed.
