trans-Diaquabis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dionato-κ2O,O′)cobalt(II) dihydrate

Abstract

The CoII atom in the mononuclear title compound, [Co(C5HF6O2)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, is situated on an inversion centre and exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination sphere. In the crystal, molecules are arranged in layers parallel to (100), held together by O—H...O and O—H...F hydrogen bonds.
