S. Meghdadi and A. H. Mahmoudkhani

Abstract: In the title compound, [Co(C₂₃H₂₄N₂O₂)(C₄H₉N)₂]ClO₄, the N,N'-bis(1-benzoylethylidene)propylenediimine dianion, (BA)₂pn, coordinates the Co^III ion in four equatorial positions and the two amine (pyrrolidine, prldn) molecules occupy the two axial positions. The Co^III ion has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The N atoms of the pyrrolidine axial ligands are involved in hydrogen bonds with the O atoms of the perchlorate anions, forming chains along the a axis.
