| Abstract: | The title mononuclear cobalt(Ⅱ) complex [Co(DENP)2(MeOH)2]·2NO3 (DENP =2-[2-(diethylamino)ethyliminomethyl]-4-nitrophenolate) was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system, space group Pī with a = 8.297(1), b = 11.075(2), c = 11.134(2) (A), α = 69.69(1),β = 70.97(2), γ =84.02(2)°, Z = 1, V = 907.0(4) (A)3, Dc = 1.424 g/cm3, Mr = 777.66, λ(MoKα) = 0.71073 (A), μ = 0.548mm-1, F(000) = 409, R = 0.0628 and wR = 0.1734. The complex consists of a [Co(DENP)2-(MeOH)2]2+ cation and two disordered nitrate anions. The Co atom, lying at the inversion centre, is six-coordinated by two DENP ligands and two MeOH molecules in an octahedral geometry. The molecules in the crystal are linked through intermolecular O-H…O, O-H…N and N-H…O hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the b axis. |
