Bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-κ2N,N′)(carbonato-κ2O,O′)cobalt(III) bromide trihydrate
Abstract
The title complex, [Co(CO3)(C10H8N2)2]Br·3H2O, is isostructural with the chloride analogue. The six-coordinated octahedral [Co(2,2′-bipy)2CO3]+ cation (2,2′-bipy is 2,2′-bipyridyl), bromide ion and water molecules are linked together via O—H...Br and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a one-dimensional chain.
