Aquachlorido{6,6′-dimethoxy-2,2′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato-κ2O1,N,N′,O1′}cobalt(III) dimethylformamide monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Co(C18H18N2O4)Cl(H2O)]·C3H7NO, the CoIIIion is six-coordinated by a tetradentate 6,6′-dimethoxy-2,2′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolate ligand, with a chloride ion and an aqua ligand in the apical positions. The compound crystallized as a dimethylformamide (DMF) monosolvate. In the crystal, complex molecules are linkedviaO—Hwater...O hydrogen bonds to form a dimer-like arrangement. These dimers are linkedviaa C—H...Cl interaction, and the DMF molecule is linked to the complex molecule by C—H...O interactions.
