title: A chloride ion contained in a cobalt 'claw': [Co3(DADIT)3]Cl(PF6)2.
abstract: A trimeric compound containing Co(II) is described, namely tris[mu-2-[3-(dimethylamino)propylimino]propane-1-thiolato]tricobalt(II) chloride bis(hexafluorophosphate), [Co(3)(C(10)H(21)N(2)S)(3)]Cl(PF(6))(2). Each Co atom is ligated by one 2-[3-(dimethylamino)propylimino]propane-1-thiolate ligand, an amine group and an imine group. The thiolate groups bridge the Co atoms, forming a six-membered ring that encloses the chloride ion in a well defined binding pocket.
