Tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) bis(trichloroacetate)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Co(C12H8N2)3](C2Cl3O2)2, the CoII ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by six N atoms from three bis-chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands in a distorted octahedral environment. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
