Bis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonato-O,O')bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy-O)cobalt(II)

The structure of [Co(C₅HF₆O₂)₂(C₉H₁₈NO)₂], measured at 173 K is isostructural with the analogous manganese derivative at 295 K previously reported. The main differences are that in the title compound the nitroxyl O atom is disordered over two positions in a 9:1 ratio, and the M-O-N angle (where M is the metal) is about 20° more acute than reported for the manganese derivative.
