Abstract: | The title compound, [CoCl(tren)(dmso)](ClO4)2 [tren is tris‐(2‐aminoethyl)amine, C6H18N4; dmso is dimethyl sulfoxide, C2H6OS], is the first crystal structure reported with dmso coordinated to CoIII. It crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. A localized non‐crystallographic inversion centre is observed between the two cations. |
