Di­chloro­bis(trans-2-styryl­benzoxazole-κ²N,N′)­cobalt(II)

The title complex, [CoCl₂(C₁₅H₁₁NO)₂], crystallizes in the monoclinic system in space group P2₁/c. The Co atom is four-coordinated by two Cl⁻ anions and two N atoms of two trans-2-styryl­benzoxazole ligands. The coordination sphere displays a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The coordination angles lie in the range 100.5 (2)–113.7 (2)°. The dihedral angles between the benzoxazolyl and phenyl planes are 6.7 (5) and 25.0 (8)° for the two ligands.
