Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (Carbonato)bis(1,10-phenanthroline)-cobalt(III) Nitrate Trihydrate, [Co(phen)₂CO₃]NO₃·3H₂O

Abstract

The chemical preparation and crystal structure are given for a (carbonato)bis(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(III) nitrate trihydrate, [Co(phen)₂CO₃]NO₃·3H₂O, in the solid state. This complex crystallized in the triclinic space group P1 with the following unit-cell parameters: a = 8.022(2)Å, b = 10.329(2)Å, c = 15.998(3)Å, α = 106.09(1)°, β = 102.74(1)°, γ = 90.88(2)°, Z = 2 and V = 1238.2(4)ų. The final R value is 0.0581 for 4885 measured reflections.
