Diaquabis[2-(5-isopropyl-5-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinato]cobalt(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Co(C13H14N3O3)2(H2O)2], the CoII atom has a distorted octahedral coordination, formed by four N atoms from two (±)-2-(5-isopropyl-5-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinate ligands and two O atoms from two water molecules. Intramolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds are present. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into a chain along [010].
