A novel 18-membered metallocycle in {2,5-bis[3-(1H-1,3-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole}dichloridocobalt(II).
The title molecular complex, [CoCl(2)(C(22)H(18)N(6)O)], features a novel 18-membered Co-containing metallocycle. The Co(II) atom lies in a fairly regular tetrahedral geometry defined by two imidazole N-atom donors from one 2,5-bis[3-(1H-1,3-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L) ligand and two chloride anions. The coordinating orientation of the L ligand plays an important role in constructing the metallocycle complex. The complexes form a three-dimensional supramolecular assembly via nonclassical C-H...Cl and C-H...N hydrogen bonds and pi-pi interactions.
