Tris(1H-imidazole-κN3)(7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylato-κ3O2,O3,O7)cobalt(II) 3.35-hydrate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(C8H8O5)(C3H4N2)3]·3.35H2O, the central CoII ion is in a slightly distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by the bridging O atom from the bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ligand, by two carboxylate O atoms from two different carboxylate groups and by three N atoms from imidazole ligands. Uncoordinated water molecules, some of them disordered, are present in the crystal structure. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by O—H...O, N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen-bonding interactions.
