Dichloridobis(3-{[(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]amino}benzoic acid-κ 2 N , N ′)cobalt(II) methanol monosolvate monohydrate
Abstract
The orthorhombic (space group Pna 2 1 ) unit cell of the title compound, [CoCl 2 (C 13 H 10 N 2 O 2 ) 2 ]·CH 3 OH·H 2 O, contains eight complex molecules, four A and four B , along with sixteen solvent molecules of crystallization. The two independent Co II atoms are coordinated by imine and pyridine N atoms from each of two neutral pyridinyliminobenzoic acids and two cis -chlorido ligands in a distorted octahedral coordination environment. In the crystal, the complex molecules pack loosely with the closest Co...Co separation exceeding 7.7 Å. The uncoordinated carboxylic groups on the ligands are presumably hydrogen-bonded to the solvent methanol and water molecules.
