The title mol-ecule, [CoCl2(C5H5N)2(H2O)2], has -1 symmetry with the Co(II) ion situated on an inversion centre. The cation has a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment and is surrounded by two N and two Cl atoms in the equatorial plane, while the coordinating water O atoms occupy the axial positions. The crystal exhibits nonmerohedral twinning with two domain states, the volume fractions of which were refined to 0.883 (2) and 0.117 (3). The crystal packing is stabilized by O-H⋯Cl hydrog ...[more]
