Crystal structure of bromido-penta-kis-(tetra-hydro-furan-κO)magnesium bis-[1,2-bis-(di-phenyl-phosphan-yl)benzene-κ² P,P']cobaltate(-1) tetra-hydro-furan disolvate.

ABSTRACT: Structural characterization of the ionic title complex, [MgBr(THF)₅][Co(dpbz)₂]·2THF [THF is tetra-hydro-furan, C₄H₈O; dpbz is 1,2-bis-(di-phenyl-phosphan-yl)benzene, C₃₀H₂₄P₂], revealed a well-separated cation and anion co-crystallized with two THF solvent mol-ecules that inter-act with the cation via weak C-H⋯O contacts. The geometry about the cobalt center is pseudo-tetra-hedral, as is expected for a d ¹⁰ metal center, only deviating from an ideal tetra-hedral geometry because of the restrictive bite angles of the bidentate phosphane ligands. Three THF ligands of the cation and one co-crystallized THF solvent mol-ecule are each disordered over two orientations. In the extended structure
