Abstract: | The complex Co(C14H13NO)2Cl2 with the protonated N‐salicylidene‐p‐toluidine ligand was synthesized from an ethanolic solution of CoCl2·6H2O and N‐salicylidene‐p‐toluidine. The crystal structure was determined from X‐ray single crystal data (monoclinic, space group Cc, a = 1496.2(3) pm, b = 1257.4(4) pm, c = 1544.6(3) pm, β = 115.01(1)°, Z = 4). Co2+ adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The UV‐Vis and IR spectra of the complex are discussed. |
