Bis(2,4-dichloro-phen-oxy-acetato-κO,O)(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')cobalt(II).

In the title compound, [Co(C(8)H(5)Cl(2)O(3))(C(12)H(12)N(2))], the Co(II) atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four O atoms from two chelating 2,4-dichloro-phen-oxy-acetate ligands and two N atoms from a 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand, displaying a distorted octa-hedral geometry. A three-dimensional supra-molecular structure is formed through inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.779 (2) Å].
