Synthesis and Crystal Structure of phen2Co-2N3

Abstract

A novel cobalt complex phen₂Co-2N₃, where phen is 1,10-   phenanthroline, was synthesized and characterized by IR spectra,   elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray. The crystal is triclinic, space   group P-1 with unit cell parameters: a = 8.090 Å, b = 12.7351 (5) Å,   c = 14.2705 (3) Å, α = 82.912 (15)º, β = 73.595(16)º, γ = 72.122(13)º,   V = 1341.22 (6) Å3, Z = 2, Mr = 543.93, Dc = 1.347 Mg/cm³, μ = 0.681   mm^-1, F(000) = 559, T = 293(2)K, R = 0.0782, wR = 0.2482 for 10293   reflections with I > 2σ(I). The crystal structure analysis shows that the   Co(II) is a six-coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedron environment.
