The title compound, (C9H8N)[CoCl3(C9H7N)], consists of CoII complex anions and quinolinium cations. The CoII complex anions assume tetrahedral coordination geometry and are hydrogen bonded to the quinolinium cations to form centrosymmetric supramolecular dimer. π–π stacking occurs between the quinoline and quinolinium rings.
