Diaquabis(4-carboxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylato-κ2N3,O4)cobalt(II) N,N-dimethylformamide disolvate
Abstract
In the title complex, [Co(C8H9N2O4)2(H2O)2]·2C3H7NO, the CoII cation (site symmetry overline1) is six-coordinated by two 5-carboxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate ligands and two water molecules in a distorted octahedral environment. In the crystal structure, the complex molecules and dimethylformamide solvent molecules are linked by extensive O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonding into sheets lying parallel to (21overline{1}).
