Aquachloro[tris(methylpyridyl)amine]cobalt(III) diperchlorate monohydrate

T. W. Failes

Abstract: The tris(methylpyridyl)amine (tpa, C₁₈H₁₈N₄) ligand in the title complex, [CoCl(tpa)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂·H₂O, is bound to the Co^III centre in a tripodal fashion through the four N-donor atoms, allowing the chloro and aqua ligands to occupy the remaining cis sites in the octahedral coordination geometry. The chloro ligand is coordinated trans to the tertiary amine N atom of the tpa ligand. A solvent water molecule is hydrogen bonded to the aqua ligand. The metal-ligand bond lengths are typical for Co^III complexes.
