Figure 1
A portion of the structure of (I), showing one [Co(1,3-pdta)]2− complex and several attached Li+ counter-ions. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 40% probability level. The configuration around the CoII cation is Λ. G, R and T indicate rings discussed in the Comment. Primes and double primes distinguish between two symmetry-independent equatorial (G) and out-of-plane (R) glycinate rings. [Symmetry codes: (i) x + 1, y, z; (ii) x, y, z − 1; (iii) x, y, z + 1; (iv) x − 1, y, z; (v) x + 1, y, z + 1; (vi) x − 1, y, z − 1.] |
