Bis(-dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene-2,6-dicarboxylato-²O²:O⁶)bis[bis(1,10-phenanthroline-²N,N')cobalt(II)] dimethylformamide disolvate

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co₂(C₁₀H₂O₄S₃)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₄]·2C₃H₇NO, contains one half of the formula unit, with the rest generated by inversion. The cobalt ion sits in a slightly distorted octahedral environment and is ligated to four N atoms of two 1,10-phenanthroline molecules and to two O atoms of two dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene-2,6-dicarboxylate anions. The anions act as bridges between the Co^II centers.
