Structures and electronic properties of cobalt(II) selone coordination complexes.

ABSTRACT: The structural chemistry of selenourea ligands is quite diverse, though examples of their coordination to cobalt are rare. In this study, the solid-state structures of the selenourea 1,3-diethylimidazole-2-selone, C₇H₁₂N₂Se, and the cobalt complexes dichloridobis(1,3-diethylimidazole-2-selone-κSe)cobalt(II), [CoCl₂(C₇H₁₂N₂Se)₂] (1), and dichloridobis(1,3-diisopropylimidazole-2-selone-κSe)cobalt(II), [CoCl₂(C₉H₁₆N₂Se)₂] (2), are presented. Two crystallization methods for the coordination complexes are utilized. The structures of complexes 1 and 2 are compared with the few existing examples in the literature, revealing a similar trend for terminal bin
