Abstract

The crystal structure of (H2O)(12-crown-4)Co(II)(Co(II)Cl3)(μ-Cl)1 is reported. Crystal data for1: monoclinic, space groupP2 1/m, a=7.958(8) Å,b=12.006(1) Å,c=69.017(9) Å, β=107.896(2)0, Dc=1.84 g cm−3,Z=2,R1=0.025,wR2=0.059. The crown ether acts as a tetradentate ligand and partially completes the binding sphere of the Co(II) ion which also includes one water oxygen atom and a bridging chloride ligand, the latter of which may be regarded to originate from a [CoCl4]2− ion.
