Abstract

In the title cobalt(II) compound, [Co(C ₁₂H ₂₁N ₂Si)Cl(C ₆H ₁₆N ₂)], the ethane-1,2-diamine donor mol­ecule coordin­ates the metal atom in an N, N′-chelating mode, with Co—N distances of 2.136 (2) and 2.140 (3) Å. An anilide ligand connects to the Co ^II atom with a σ–bond, the Co—N _anilide distance being 1.931 (2) Å. The four-coordinate Co ^II atom demonstrates a slightly distorted tetra­hedral geometry.
