[mu]2-Aqua-bis([mu]2-trifluoroaceto-[kappa]2O,O')bis[bis(pyridine-[kappa]N)(trifluoroacetato-[kappa]O)cobalt(II)]

J. C. Burley and T. J. Prior

Abstract: The title complex, [Co2(C2F3O2)4(C5H5N)4(H2O)], crystallizes as a neutral dinuclear molecule with two crystallographically distinct octahedrally coordinated CoII ions in the asymmetric unit. The metal ions are connected by two [mu]2-bridging trifluoroacetate ions and a single [mu]2-bridging water molecule. Each cobalt(II) coordination sphere is completed by a further trifluoroacetate ion, which coordinates in a monodentate manner, and also by two pyridine molecules, resulting in local cis-CoN2O4 coordination. The water molecule H atoms participate in intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds to the pendant O atoms of the monodentate trifluoroacetate ligands.
