Structure-directing role of CH⋯X (X = C, N, S, Cl) interactions in three ionic cobalt complexes: X-ray investigation and DFT study using QTAIM Vr predictor to eliminate the effect of pure Coulombic forces.

ABSTRACT: Three cobalt complexes, namely [Co^III(HL¹)₂(N₃)₂]ClO₄ (1), [Co^III(L²)(HL²)(N₃)]ClO₄·1.5H₂O (2), and [Co^III(L³)(HL³)(NCS)]₂ [Co^IICl₂(NCS)₂] (3), where HL¹ = 2-(3-(dimethylamino)propyliminomethyl)-6-methoxyphenol, HL² = 2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyliminomethyl)-4,6-dichlorophenol, and HL³ = 2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyliminomethyl)-6-methoxyphenol, as potential tridentate N₂O-donor Schiff base ligands, were synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. All three were f
