Tris(1H-benzimidazole-N³)(thiodiacetato-³O,S,O')cobalt(II) dihydrate

L. Cao, J.-G. Liu and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: In the title complex, [Co(C₄H₄O₄S)(C₇H₆N₂)₃]·2H₂O, the Co^II ion is coordinated by one thiodiacetate dianion and three benzimidazole molecules, with a distorted octahedral geometry. The tridentate thiodiacetate chelates to the Co atom in a facial configuration, with a Co-S bond distance of 2.5597 (8) Å. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding prevents the face-to-face stacking of neighboring benzimdazole ligands.
