Crystal Structure of 2,3,9,10-Tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazaundecane-1,3,8,10-tetraen-11-ol-1-olatodicyanocobalt(III) monohydrate

Abstract

Herein we report on the single-crystal structure of the macrocyclic complex [Co^III(dohpn)(CN)₂]·H₂O (dohpn = 2,3,9,10-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazaundecane-1,3,8,10-tetraen-11-ol-1-olate). The compound crystallizes in the space group P2₁ with cell parameters a = 7.4632(2), b = 13.9015(4), c = 7.9286(2)Å, β = 101.6420(10)° and Z = 2. The structure shows an octahedral environment around the metal ion with a fairly planar configuration of the macrocyclic ligand and a very small tetragonal distortion of the complex.
