| Abstract: | Reactions of 1,3-bis(pyridyl-4-ylthio)propan-2-one L and CoCl2·6H2O under dif- ferent conditions gave two new cobalt(II)-chloride-L complexes with distinct structures. Complex Co(L)2Cl2]·0.5CH3OH}n 1 prepared by solvothermal treatment is a 3D network, whereas complex {Co3(L)2Cl6(DMF)4]·2CH3OH·H2O} 2 obtained in DMF-diethyl ether system is a discrete acyclic trimer. Crystal data for 1: space group Ibca, a = 15.993(4), b = 18.454(5), c = 21.506(6)(A), V = 6347(3)(A)3, Z = 8, Dc = 1.462 g/cm3, μ = 1.005 mm-1, F(000) = 2864, C26.5H26Cl2CoN4O2.5S4, Mr = 698.58, the final R = 0.0499 and wR = 0.1024. Crystal data for 2: space group P1, a = 9.9177(6), b = 11.0871(4), c = 15.5490(12)(A), α = 83.1834(14), β = 88.910(13), γ = 71.096(11)o, V = 1605.8(2)(A)3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.362 g/cm3, μ = 1.194 mm-1, F(000) = 677, C40H62Cl6Co3N8O9S4, Mr = 1316.71, the final R = 0.0666 and wR = 0.1575. |
