Crystal and molecular structure of dichloro[(–)-spartein]cobalt(II)
Abstract
The structure of the title compound has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis and refined by least-squares methods based on diffractometer data (968 counter intensities. R 0.040). Crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121, with Z= 4, and a= 11.192(7), b= 11.897(6), c= 12.438(9)Å. The cobalt(II) ion has a distorted tetrahedral co-ordination geometry with N–Co–N 90.4 and Cl–Co–Cl 114.1°.
