Bis(morpholin-4-ium) tetrachloridocobalt(II)
Abstract
The title compound, (C4H10NO)2[CoCl4], is an ionic compound consisting of two protonated tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine (morpholine) cations and a [CoCl4]2− dianion. The CoII ion is in a tetrahedral coordination geometry. The cations exhibit chair-shaped conformations. A three-dimensional supramolecular architecture is formed through N—H...Cl and C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds between the dianions and the cations.
