Journal of Chemical Crystallography Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The cobalt(III) complex salt [(C4H9)4N][trans-Co(NH3)2(NO2)4] has been synthesized in high yield by reacting equimolar quantities of [(C4H9)4N]Br and K[trans-Co(NH3)2(NO2)4] in aqueous medium at room temperature. The product thus formed has been re-crystallised from acetone-water mixture, in the monoclinic space group P 21/n, with cell dimensions a=11.651(3) Å, b=19.005(4) Å, c=11.733(5) Å, β=90.28(3)°. The X-ray structure determination revealed the presence of discrete ions, [(C4H9)4N]+ and [trans-Co(NH3)2(NO2)4]−. The central metal ion cobalt(III) in the anion is found in octahedral environment, in trans geometry, while the organic counterion is a quaternary alkylammonium cation. The crystal lattice is stabilized by electrostatic interactions between the cations and anions.
