trans‐Chloro­bis­(ethyl­enedi­amine‐N,N′)­nitro­cobalt(III) perchlorate

In the title compound, trans‐[CoCl(NO₂)(C₂H₈N₂)₂]ClO₄, there are two independent Co^III complexes with a distorted octahedral coordination, and they show an orientational disorder such that the positions of the nitro and chloro ligands are exchanged. As a result, the averaged structure has inversion centres at the Co atoms. The perchlorate‐O atoms are disordered over two sites.
