Bis(1H-benzimidazole-κN3)bis(4-methylbenzoato-κ2O,O′)cobalt(II)

Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [Co(C8H7O2)2(C7H6N2)2], the CoII atom is coordinated by four carboxylate O atoms from two 4-methylbenzoate ligands and two N atoms from two benzimidazole ligands in an octahedral coordination geometry. The molecules are assembled via intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions into a three-dimensional network.
