Abstract: | The crystal structure of the title compound, triacetato‐1κO;3κ4O,O′‐(2,2′‐iminodiethanol)‐1κ3O,N,O′‐bis(μ‐2,2′‐iminodiethanolato)‐1κ2O:2κ6O,N,O′:3κ2O′‐cobalt(III)copper(II)zinc(II), CoCuZn(C4H9NO2)2(C2H3O2)3(C4H11NO2)], shows a molecule with a triangular three‐metal core. The metal sites were refined with full occupancies, but the possibility that the Zn and Cu positions are actually mixed Cu/Zn sites cannot be excluded. The intermetallic Cu?Co and Co?Zn distances are 2.924 (3) and 2.906 (3) Å, respectively. The neutral molecules are held together by N—H?O hydrogen bonds involving amine groups from the 2,2′‐iminodiethanol ligands and acetate groups to build two‐dimensional layers. |
