cis-Chlorido(ethylamine)bis(propane-1,3-diamine)cobalt(III) dichloride

Abstract

In the title compound, [CoCl(C2H7N)(C3H10N2)2]Cl2, the CoIII ion has a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment and is surrounded by four N atoms in the equatorial plane, with the other N and Cl atoms occupying the axial positions. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a layered arrangement parallel to (1-10).

cis-Bromidobis(ethylene-1,2-diamine)(2-methylpropan-1-amine)cobalt(III) dibromide

“…The remaining en N atoms, N1 and N4, occupy the axial positions. This arrangement is very similar to that observed for cischlorido(ethylamine)bis(ethylene-1,2-diamine)cobalt(III) dichloride (Maheshwaran et al, 2013). In the title complex cation, the Co-N en bond lengths vary from 1.950 (4) to 1.963 (4) Å , while the Co-N5 bond length involving the 2-methylpropan-1-amine ligand is 1.998 (4) Å and the Co1-Br1 bond length is 2.4019 (11) Å .…”
