| Abstract: | [Co(η2-CO3)(NH3)4](NO3)·0.5H2O and [(NH3)3Co(μ-OH)2(μ-CO3)Co(NH3)3][NO3]2·H2O were prepared by prolonged aerial oxidation of a solution of Co(NO3)2·6H2O and ammonium carbonate in aqueous ammonia. The formation of these side products highlights the richness of the chemistry of these systems and the possibility of by products if methods are not strictly adhered to. The X-ray crystal structures of [Co(η2-CO3)(NH3)4][NO3]·0.5H2O and [(NH3)3Co(μ-OH)2(μ-CO3)Co(NH3)3][NO3]2·H2O reveal a monomeric octahedral cobalt center with η2-bound CO32− in the former, while the latter consists of a dimeric array where the two cobalt centers are bridged by two OH− and one μ2-CO32− groups with three terminal NH3 ligands for each Co center. In both complexes extensive hydrogen bonding interactions are evident. |
