(−)545-fac-Δ-Tris(l-prolinato)cobalt(III) trihydrate
Abstract
The absolute configuration of the octahedral fac-CoN3O3 title complex, [Co(C5H8NO2)3]·3H2O, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. A three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds is observed between the proline carboxylate groups and the three uncoordinated water molecules.
