trans-Bis(dimethylglyoximato-kappa2N,N')(1-hexenyl)(pyridine-kappaN)cobalt(III): a cobaloxime-substituted terminal alkene that rapidly isomerizes to a cobaloxime-substituted internal alkenyl complex.
An unusual cobaloxime-substituted terminal alkene, [Co(C(6)H(11))(C(4)H(7)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)], has been isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The double bond in the alkene readily isomerizes, but the title compound could be isolated and structurally characterized at low temperature.
