Abstract
The title compound, [Co(C20H14N2O2)(C5H5N)2]ClO4 or [Co(salophen)(py)2]ClO4, where salophen is o-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolate and py is pyridine, contains a six-coordinate mononuclear cobalt(III) atom. The two phenolic O atoms and the two imine N atoms are located in cis positions. There are two pyridine molecules attached to the metal atom, filling the axial sites with a mutually perpendicular disposition of the pyridine planes [86.11 (5)°]. The Co complexes are stacked in layers parallel to (100). Coherence of the structure is provided by a variety of C—H⋯O interactions between the complexes and the perchlorate counter anion.
