A cobalt(III) complex with two 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) and two chloride ligands, cis-[CoCl2(bpy)2](NO3)·CH3OH, was prepared, and the crystal structure at 173 K was elucidated by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The complex crystallized in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 7.0850(2), b = 12.1656(3), c = 13.2186(4)Å, α = 87.106(2), β = 87.830(3), γ = 77.714(3)°, Z = 2, V = 1111.41(6)Å3. The R1 and wR2 values were 0.0496 and 0.1268, respectively, for 4038 reflections.
