Poly[[[diaquacobalt(II)]-di--glycine] dichloride]

K. Stenzel and M. Fleck

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, {[Co(C₂H₅NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]Cl₂}_n, is presented and compared with other compounds of glycine and M^II chlorides. It contains CoO₆ octahedra connected by glycine molecules into layers. The Co atoms lie on centres of inversion. Chloride ions are located between the layers. It is the first known example of a glycine-M^II chloride with a glycine-metal ratio of 2:1.
