Diaquabis[4-(dimethylamino)pyridine-κN1]bis[2-(1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yl)acetato-κO1]cobalt(II)

Abstract

In the mononuclear title complex, [Co(C10H6NO4)2(C7H10N2)2(H2O)2], the CoII ion is located on an inversion centre and has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry of type CoN2O4 by two N atoms from the two 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) ligands, two carboxylate O atoms from the two deprotonated N-phthaloylglycine (Nphgly) ligands [systematic name: 2-(1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yl)acetate] and two coordination water molecules. In the crystal, O—H...O, C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions link the molecules into the supramolecular structure.
