Tris[2,4-dichloro-6-(ethyliminomethyl)phenolato-κ2N,O]cobalt(III)
Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(C9H8Cl2NO)3], contains three independent molecules. In each molecule, the CoIII ion is coordinated by an O atom and an N atom from three bidentate 2,4-dichloro-6-(ethyliminomethyl)phenolate ligands in a slightly distorted octahedral environment. In the crystal, a weak C—H...Cl hydrogen bond is observed.
