Imidazolium trans-bis(iminodiacetato-κ3O,N,O′)cobaltate(III)

Abstract

In the title compound, (C3H5N2)[Co(C4H5NO4)2], the cation and anion are located on a twofold rotation axis and inversion center, respectively. Intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into layers parallel to the ab plane. The crystal packing also exhibits weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, including bifurcated hydrogen bonds, and C=O...π interactions.
