The title compound, C15H19ClO3, is bent with a dihedral angle of 72.02 (9)° between the mean planes of the benzene ring and a group encompassing the ester functionality (O=C—O—C). In the crystal, mol­ecules related by inversion symmetry are connected by weak C—H⋯O inter­actions into infinite chains. These inter­actions involve H atoms from a methyl group of the dimethyl residue and the O atoms of the ketone on one side of a mol­ecule; on the other side there are inter­actions between H atoms of the benzene ring and the carbonyl O atoms of the ester functionality. There are no directional inter­actions between the chains.

The syntheses and structural properties of three dinuclear complexes [L(3)Co(μ(2)-O(2)P(Bn)(2))(3)CoL'][L"] [one ionic L(3) = py(3), L' = py, L" = ClO(4)(-) (1) and two molecular L(3) = py(3), L' = Cl (2) and L(3) = py, μ(2)-NO(3)(-), L' = py (3)] are reported. Complexes feature octahedral Co(II) sites bridged by three dibenzylphosphinate ligands to a tetrahedrally ligated Co(II) site, with the remaining coordination sites occupied by py, nitrato, and Cl ligands. The Co-Co distances are 4.248 Å at 291 K and 4.265 Å at 100 K for 1 and 4.278 and 4.0313(7) Å for 2 and 3, respectively at 100 K. A fit of the low-temperature magnetic susceptibility data was derived for complex 1 with g = 2.25, TIP = 700 × 10(-6) cm(3) mol (-1), λ = -173 cm(-1), κ = 0.93, ν = -3.9, Δ = 630 cm(-1), J = 0.15 cm(-1), and θ = -1.8 resulting in R(χ(M)) = 2.5 × 10(-5) and R(χ(M)T) = 5.8 × 10(-5).
