Crystal and molecular structure of di-iodotetrakis(phenyl isocyanide)cobalt(II). A strictly linear Co–I–Co bridge
Abstract
The spin exchange between the cobalt(II) ions in the diamagnetic modification of (PhNC)4CoI2 is achieved through a strictly linear Co–I–Co bridge; the compound crystallizes as µiodo-bis[iodotetrakis(phenylisocyanide)cobalt(II)] iodide, [I–Co(L)4–I–Co(L)4–I]+I–(L = PhNC).
