The lamellar architecture of 1,6-hexamethylenediammonium tetrachlorocobaltate(II)

A. H. Mahmoudkhani and V. Langer

Abstract: In the title compound, (C₆H₁₈N₂)[CoCl₄], organic dications and inorganic dianions interact with each other through N-HCl hydrogen bonds, forming infinite two-dimensional sheets of anions parallel to the ac plane. Alkyl chains act as spacers between these sheets. Only three Cl atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding with ammonium groups. The asymmetric unit consists of one anion together with half of each of two cations on inversion centres.
