(2-Acetyl-phenolato)(2-{1-[2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethyl-imino]-eth-yl}phenolato)(thio-cyanato-κN)-cobalt(III).

ABSTRACT: The title mononuclear cobalt(III) complex, [Co(C(14)H(19)N(2)O(2))(C(8)H(7)O(2))(NCS)], was obtained by the reaction of 2-acetyl-phenol, 2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethyl-amine, ammonium thio-cyan-ate and cobalt nitrate in methanol. The Co(III) atom is coordinated by one phenolate O, one imine N, and one amine N atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand, two O atoms of the 2-acetyl-phenolate anion and one thio-cyanate N atom. This results in a fairly regular fac-CoN(3)O(3) octa-hedral coordination geometry for the metal ion. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 88.3 (3)°.
