Crystal and molecular structure of a paramagnetic hydridotetrahydro-borato-complex of cobalt: hydridotetrahydroboratobis(tricyclohexylphosphine)cobalt
Abstract
The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/a. with cell dimension a= 23.391 (10). b= 12.614(4), c= 13.195(6)Å, β= 106.93(3)°Z= 4. The cobalt atom is co-ordinated by two tricyclohexylphosphine ligands in the trans-positions, a hydride hydrogen, and two bridging hydrogen atoms of the tetrahydroborato-ligands in a deformed square pyramid.
