Tris(glycinato-κ2 N,O)cobalt(III)

Abstract

The title compound, [Co(C2H4NO2)3], is a mononuclear cobalt(III) complex. The CoIII atom is six-coordinated by three N atoms and three O atoms from three chelating glycinate ligands, forming a slightly distorted octahedral configuration. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked together by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
