Crystal structure of hexa-kis-(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)cobalt(II) bis-[tri-chlorido-(quinoline-κN)cobaltate(II)].

ABSTRACT: There are few reports that describe crystal structures of compounds containing cobalt complexed to either dimethyl sulfoxide (Me₂SO) or quinoline (C₉H₇N). The title compound, [Co(C₂H₆OS)₆][CoCl₃(C₉H₇N)]₂, is a cobalt salt in which the metal ion is complexed to both Me₂SO and quinoline. In particular, we observed that anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride reacts with quinoline in Me₂SO to form a salt that is to be formulated as [Co^II(Me₂SO)₆]²⁺{[Co^IICl₃quinoline]₂^-}. The Co^II atom in the cation portion of this mol-ecule lies on a inversion center and is bound to the O ato
