Abstract
The Co atom in the title complex, [CoCl2(C5H5NO)2], has a distorted tetrahedral coordination involving two Cl− ions and two O atoms of two 4-pyridone ligands. The Co atom occupies a special position with twofold rotation symmetry. A layer structure is formed by N—H⋯Cl intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions of adjacent pyridone rings.
