Bis[mu-N,N'-bis(3-methylsalicylidene)propane-1,3-diaminato]dicobalt(II) 0.28-hydrate.
The title complex, bis{mu-6,6-dimethyl-2,2'-[propane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}dicobalt(II) 0.28-hydrate, [Co2(C19H20N2O2)2].0.28H2O, is a dinuclear cobalt(II) complex, which crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4(1)2(1)2. The complex molecule is located on a twofold symmetry axis. Each Co(II) ion is five-coordinated by two O and two N atoms from a Schiff base ligand, and by another bridging phenolate O atom from another Schiff base ligand, giving a severely distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment.
