Synthesis and structure determination of racemic (Δ/Λ)-tris-(ethyl-enedi-amine)-cobalt(III) trichloride hemi(hexa-aqua-sodium chloride).

ABSTRACT: The synthesis and crystal structure of the title racemic compound, [Co(C₂H₈N₂)₃]Cl₃.{[Na(H₂O)₆]Cl}_0.5, are reported. The trivalent cobalt atom, which resides on a crystallographic threefold axis, is chelated by a single ethyl-ene di-amine (en) ligand and yields the tris-chelate [Co(en)₃]³⁺ cation with distorted octa-hedral geometry after the application of crystal symmetry. The sodium cation (site symmetry ), has a single water mol-ecule bound to it in the asymmetric unit and yields a distorted, octa-hedrally coordinated hydrated [Na(H₂O)₆]⁺ cation after the application of symmetry. One of the chloride ions lies on a general position and the other h
