[2,6-Dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylato(2−)]bis(pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline)cobalt(II) dihydrate

Abstract

The title complex, [Co(C5H2N2O4)(C14H8N4)2]·2H2O, features a slightly distorted octahedral geometry for Co due to the sterical requirements of the orotic acid and pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline ligands. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the uncoordinated water molecules and the ligand stablizes the structure of the complex.
