(8-Amino-quinoline-κ(2)N,N')bis-(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexa-fluoro-pentane-2,4-dionato-κ(2)O,O')cobalt(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Co(C(5)HF(6)O(2))(2)(C(9)H(8)N(2))], the Co(II) centre exhibits a pseudooctahedral coordination geometry, comprising two N-atom donors from the bidentate amino-quinoline ligand and four O-atom donor atoms from two bidentate chelating 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dionate ligands. In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are further connected through π-π interactions between neighbouring quinoline rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.472 (2) Å], and stack along the c axis.
