Dichloro[tris(methylpyridyl)amine]cobalt(III) perchlorate hemihydrate

T. W. Failes

Abstract: The tris(methylpyridyl)amine (tpa, C₁₈H₁₈N₄) ligand in the title complex, [Co(tpa)Cl₂]ClO₄·0.5H₂O, is bound to the Co^III centre in a tripodal fashion through the four N-donor atoms, allowing the two chloro ligands to occupy the remaining cis sites in the octahedral coordination sphere. Half a solvent water molecule is disordered over two sites. The metal-ligand bond lengths are typical for Co^III complexes.
