Abstract

The crystal structure of CoCl(PMes3)3 has shown that the compound is not isostructural with its rhodium analogue. The title compound crystallizes in the cubic space groupPa 3 (No. 205) whereas the analogous Rh compound belongs to the triclinic space groupP ¯1. The cobalt derivative exhibits unit cell constanta=15.490(7) Å andZ=8 forDc=1.15 g cm−3. Full-matrix least-squares refinement gave a finalR value of 0.055 for 283 observed reflections. The Co-Cl bond in the molecule lies along a crystallographic three-fold axis with a Co-Cl distance of 2.21(1) Å. The unique Co-P distance is 2.240(6) Å.
