Bis(N,N-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine)dithiocyanatocobalt(III) perchlorate: a redetermination

Y.-X. Sun, K.-Q. Gu, G. Yang, F. Xie and Y.-J. Sun

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(NCS)₂(C₄H₁₂N₂)₂]ClO₄, has been reported previously by Eminger, Fallab, Zehnder & Dobler [Helv. Chim. Acta (1992), 75, 1245-1250], with an R value of 0.074. However, no coordinates are available. We present here a redetermination of this structure using new intensity data. The Co^III atom, lying on an inversion centre, is six-coordinate in an octahedral geometry. The perchlorate anion, located on a twofold axis, is disordered over two orientations.
