In the title complex, [Co(C18H18N2O4)(C2H3O2)(H2O)]·2CH3OH, the CoIII atom is hexacoordinated by water and acetate groups in the axial positions and by the tetradentate Schiff base occupying equatorial positions. These axial bonds are longer than the equatorial bonds to the tetradentate Schiff base. Two molecules form a dimer through strong hydrogen bonds from the coordinated water of one molecule to the methoxy O atoms of an adjoining molecule. There is extensive intra- and intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the coordinated water and acetate ligands and the methanol solvent molecules. In addition, there are weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions, which link the molecules into a three-dimensional array.

The synthesis of the ligand 3-methoxyethylenediaminebissalicylaldimine was accomplished by the reaction of the solution of (2 g, 33.3 mmol) of ethylenediamine in 10 ml methanol which was added to the solution of o-vanillin in 40 ml methanol dropwise using a glass pipette. The mixture was refluxed for 24 h. After solvent evaporation under reduced pressure yellow solids were obtained.
The complex was synthesized by mixing a solution of (0.25 g, 1 mmol) of Co(CH3COO)2.4H2O in 5 ml me thanol with a solution of (0.33 g, 1 mmol) 3-methoxyethylenediaminebissalicylaldimine in 3 ml of dichloromethene. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature, filtered and layered with diethyl ether for crystallization. Crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation.
H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with a C—H distances of 0.95 and 0.99 Å Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 0.98 Å for CH3 [Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C)]. The H atoms attached to methanol O were idealized with an O–H distance of 0.84 Å. The water H's were constrained to have a bond length of 0.82 Å and bond angle of 104.5°.
Cobalt Schiff base complexes are of great importance because of their involvement in biological systems. One of their reactions of biological importance is that of binding O2 to a metal chelate (Lindblom et al. 1971). In recent years, there have been reports about many studies of metal complexes with di-oxygen as one ligand (Huie et al., 1979). The reason behind these studies is to understand the binding between oxygen and transition metals in the proteins that are involved in oxygen transport in living creatures. Another area where the cobalt
have find application is that of organic reactions catalysis (Haak et al. 2010). Cobalt(III) salen complexes have been described in the literature as catalysts for enantioselective cyclopropagation with diazoacetates in organic media (Morandi et al. 2011). Cobalt Schiff base complexes have also been investigated with respect to their potential application for magnetic and/or conducting devices (Nabei et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2011).In view of the importance of cobalt Schiff base complexes the structure of the title compound, CoC20 H23N2O7.2(CH3OH), has been determined. Schiff base ligands containing a methoxy or ethoxy substituent in the 3 position in the aromatic ring and in a
conformation about the central metal are often involved in interactions where these substituent are either coordinated to a metal (Assey et al., 2010a,b; Ayikoe, et al., 2010) or form strong hydrogen bonds to a water molecule (or some other suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide) in the cavity created by this conformation (Bao et al., 2009; Ayikoé et al., 2011). In this case, as is found in related Mn and Co complexes (Assey et al., 2010b; Huie, et al., 1979), this is achieved by two metal complexes coming together to form a hydrogen bonded dimer. The axially coordinated water molecules of each metal complex form strong hydrogen bonds to the two methoxy groups of the adjoining complex (O1W···O1 2.7335 (11), O1W···O3 2.9124 (13), O1W··· O2 2.8071 (11), O1W···O4 2.8840 (12) Å).The structure consists of six coordinate Co(III) in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry with both methanol and water occupying the axial positions and a tetradentate Schiff base (N2O2) which is in the equatorial plane. In addition there are two molecules of solvate methanol in the lattice (Fig. 1). From Table 1 it can be seen that the equatorial metal ligand bond lengths are very similar and vary from 1.8839 (8)Å to 1.8910 (10)Å while the axial bond lengths to the water and acetate moieties are slightly longer at 1.9454 (8)Å and 1.8995 (8)Å respectively. The only slightly distorted nature of the coordination sphere about the Co is emphasized by the fact that the cis angles vary from 78.40 (4)° to 94.18 (4)° while the trans angles range from 173.73 (3)° to 178.40 (4)°.
There is extensive O—H···O intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the coordinated water and acetate moieties and the methanol solvate molecules (Fig. 2). In addition there are weak C—H···O intermolecular interactions. These link the structure into a three-dimensional array.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Cobalt Schiff base complexes are of great importance because of their involvement in biological systems. One of their reactions of biological importance is that of binding O2 to a metal chelate (Lindblom et al. 1971). In recent years, there have been reports about many studies of metal complexes with di-oxygen as one ligand (Huie et al., 1979). The reason behind these studies is to understand the binding between oxygen and transition metals in the proteins that are involved in oxygen transport in living creatures. Another area where the cobalt Schiff bases have find application is that of organic reactions catalysis (Haak et al. 2010). Cobalt(III) salen complexes have been described in the literature as catalysts for enantioselective cyclopropagation with diazoacetates in organic media (Morandi et al. 2011). Cobalt Schiff base complexes have also been investigated with respect to their potential application for magnetic and/or conducting devices (Nabei et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2011).
In view of the importance of cobalt Schiff base complexes the structure of the title compound, CoC20 H23N2O7.2(CH3OH), has been determined. Schiff base ligands containing a methoxy or ethoxy substituent in the 3 position in the aromatic ring and in a cis conformation about the central metal are often involved in interactions where these substituent are either coordinated to a metal (Assey et al., 2010a,b; Ayikoe, et al., 2010) or form strong hydrogen bonds to a water molecule (or some other suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide) in the cavity created by this conformation (Bao et al., 2009; Ayikoé et al., 2011). In this case, as is found in related Mn and Co complexes (Assey et al., 2010b; Huie, et al., 1979), this is achieved by two metal complexes coming together to form a hydrogen bonded dimer. The axially coordinated water molecules of each metal complex form strong hydrogen bonds to the two methoxy groups of the adjoining complex (O1W···O1 2.7335 (11), O1W···O3 2.9124 (13), O1W··· O2 2.8071 (11), O1W···O4 2.8840 (12) Å).
The structure consists of six coordinate Co(III) in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry with both methanol and water occupying the axial positions and a tetradentate Schiff base (N2O2) which is in the equatorial plane. In addition there are two molecules of solvate methanol in the lattice (Fig. 1). From Table 1 it can be seen that the equatorial metal ligand bond lengths are very similar and vary from 1.8839 (8)Å to 1.8910 (10)Å while the axial bond lengths to the water and acetate moieties are slightly longer at 1.9454 (8)Å and 1.8995 (8)Å respectively. The only slightly distorted nature of the coordination sphere about the Co is emphasized by the fact that the cis angles vary from 78.40 (4)° to 94.18 (4)° while the trans angles range from 173.73 (3)° to 178.40 (4)°.
There is extensive O—H···O intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the coordinated water and acetate moieties and the methanol solvate molecules (Fig. 2). In addition there are weak C—H···O intermolecular interactions. These link the structure into a three-dimensional array.
