Crystal structure of tris-(2-aminoethyl)amineglycinatocobalt(III) ion [Co(tren)(gly)]2+, a peptide hydrolysis product from [Co(tren)(OH)(H2O)]2+
Abstract
An X-ray structure analysis of [Co(tren)(gly)]-Cl·ClO4(orange isomer) shows that the glycine is co-ordinated with its nitrogen atom trans to the teritary amine of tren, and that the tren ligand is composed of three ethylenediamine chelate rings with two k and one k′ conformations.
