Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal properties of di-bromido-bis-(2-methyl-pyridine N-oxide-κO)cobalt(II).

ABSTRACT: Reaction of CoBr₂ with 2-methyl-pyridine N-oxide in n-butanol leads to the formation of the title compound, [CoBr₂(C₆H₇NO)₂] or [CoBr₂(2-methyl-pyridine N-oxide)₂]. Its asymmetric unit consists of one Co^II cation as well as two bromide anions and two 2-methyl-pyridine N-oxide coligands in general positions. The Co^II cations are tetra-hedrally coordinated by two bromide anions and two 2-methyl-pyridine N-oxides, forming discrete complexes. In the crystal structure, these complexes are linked predominantly by weak C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonding into chains that propagate along the crystallographic a-axis. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) measurements indicate t
