Abstract
The title compound, [Co(C10H21N2)Cl3], was obtained as the by-product of the attempted synthesis of a cobalt sulfate framework using 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane as an organic template. The asymmetric unit comprises two distinct molecules, and in each, the cobalt(II) ions are tetrahedrally coordinated by three chloride anions and one 1-butyldiazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-1-ium cation. The organic ligands are generated in situ, and exhibit two forms differentiated by the eclipsed and staggered conformations of the butyl groups. These molecules interact by way of C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding array.
