Polyμ3-2-(benzotriazol-1-yl)acetato-κ3 O:O':N 3chlorido-(ethanol-κO)cobalt(II)

In the title compound, [Co(C8H6N3O2)Cl(C2H5OH)] n , the CoII atoms adopt octa-hedral trans-CoN2O4 and tetra-hedral CoCl2O2 coordination geometries (site symmetries and m, respectively). The bridging μ3-O:O:N 2-(benzotriazol-1-yl)acetato ligands connect the octa-hedral cobalt nodes into (010) sheets and the CoCl2 fragments link the sheets into a tri-periodic network. The structure displays O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and the ethanol mol-ecule is disordered over two orientations.In the title compound, [Co(C8H6N3O2)Cl(C2H5OH)] n , the CoII atoms adopt octa-hedral trans-CoN2O4 and tetra-hedral CoCl2O2 coordination geometries (site symmetries and m, respectively).
