Aqua-cyanido{6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[1,2-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]diphenolato}cobalt(III) acetonitrile hemisolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [Co(C(22)H(18)N(2)O(4))(CN)(H(2)O)]·0.5CH(3)CN, the Co(III) cation is N,N',O,O'-chelated by a 6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[1,2-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]diphenolate dianion, and is further coordinated by a cyanide anion and a water mol-ecule in the axial sites, completing a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, pairs of bifurcated O-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol-ecules, forming centrosymmetric dimers. The acetonitrile solvent mol-ecule shows 0.5 occupancy.
