Dichlorido[N'-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene)pyridine-4-carbohydrazide-κN](1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')cobalt(II) methanol monosolvate.

In the title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(13)H(9)Cl(2)N(3)O(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))]·CH(3)OH, the Co(II) atom is octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms from the pyridyl rings of the tridentate N'-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene)pyridine-4-carbohydrazide (H(2)L) ligand, two N atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two chloride ions. The acyl-hydrazone groups are not involved into the coordination of the metal ion. In the crystal packing an extended three-dimensional network formed by N-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯O, O-H⋯N, O-H⋯N and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds is observed.
