Abstract: Reaction of cobalt chloride with 1-(1-silatranylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole in benzene afforded complex CoCl2·2L (L = 1-(1-silatranylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole). It was isolated as the solvate [CoCl2·2L]·CH2Cl2 (1) by recrystallization from dichloromethane and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/m with a = 6.798(2) E, b = 20.326(5) E, c = 11.005(3) E, and Z = 4. The cobalt atom is in slightly distorted square-planar environment, coordinated to two nitrogen atoms from two ligands and two chloride ions.
