(N4-n-Butylpyridine-4-carbothioamide-κN4)chloridobis(dimethylglyoximato-κ2N,N′)cobalt(III) hemihydrate
Abstract
The title compound, trans-[Co(C4H7N2O2)2Cl(C10H14N2S)]·0.5H2O, contains two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit in which the CoIII ions are coordinated in slightly distorted octahedral coordination environments. The bis-chelating glyoximate ligands, which occupy equatorial sites, are linked by interligand O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the glyoximate ligands in each molecule are 2.07 (8) and 1.60 (1)°. The asymmetric unit contains a solvent water molecule which is disordered over two sites with refined occupancies 0.64 (2) and 0.36 (2).
