Identification of the cobalt(II) chloride ‘mixed’ solvate Co4Cl8(H2O)4(MeCN)6: the ionic structure trans-[Co(H2O)2(MeCN)4] trans-[Co(H2O)2(MeCN)2(CoCl4)2]

Abstract

The structure of the title compound features mononuclear octahedral CoII cations, trans-[Co(H2O)2(MeCN)4]2+, and trinuclear anions, trans-[Co(H2O)2(MeCN)2(CoCl4)2]2−; the latter centrosymmetric units contain a central octahedral Co(H2O)2(MeCN)2 moiety with two tetrahedral [CoCl4]2− ligands. These two large ions are held in a network of intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding.
