Chloridobis[diphenylglyoximato(1–)-κ2N,N′](1H-imidazole-κN3)cobalt(III) hemihydrate
Abstract
The Co centre in the title compound, [Co(C14H11N2O2)2Cl(C3H4N2)]·0.5H2O, shows a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The glyoximate units of the molecule are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the H atom almost in the middle of the two O atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized through intermolecular N—H...O, N—H...N and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. The uncoordinated water molecule shows half-occupation.
