Tetra-n-butylamine(carbonato-²O,O')cobalt(III) n-butylcarbamate dihydrate

T. D. Keene, M. B. Hursthouse and D. J. Price

Abstract: The title compound, [Co(CO₃)(C₄H₁₁N)₄](C₅H₁₀NO₂)·2H₂O, is a coordination complex with an N₄O₂ coordination sphere around the central Co^III ion. The small bite angle of the chelating carbonate causes a distortion of the octahedral geometry to an approximately C_2v local symmetry. Hydrogen-bonding between the carbonate, carbamate and amine groups, and the water of crystallization, results in a complex two-dimensional network.
