Abstract: | In the crystal of the title complex, [Co(C9H6NO)3]·C2H5OH, the central Co atom has a distorted octahedral coordination comprised of three N atoms and three O atoms from the three 8‐quinolinolato ligands. The three Co—O bond distances are in the range 1.887 (2)–1.910 (2) Å, while the three Co—N bond distances range from 1.919 (2) to 1.934 (2) Å. The solvent ethanol molecule forms an intermolecular O—H?O hydrogen bonding with a quinolinolato ligand. |
