Tris(8-quinolinolato-²N,O)cobalt(III) methanol solvate

D.-X. Li, D.-J. Xu, J.-M. Gu and Y.-Z. Xu

Abstract: The title cobalt(III) complex, [Co(C₉H₆NO)₃]·CH₃OH, features three 8-quinolinolate ligands that chelate the cobalt(III) atom with an octahedral coordination geometry. The methanol solvent molecule is disordered in the structure. The OO distances 2.726  (7) and 2.871  (8)  Å between the quinolinol hydroxyl and disordered methanol suggest the existence of hydrogen bonding. The separation distances of 3.404  (15) and 3.386  (7)  Å between parallel quinoline rings indicate - stacking between neighboring complex molecules.
