Abstract

In the title cobalt(II) compound, [Co(C12H21N2Si)Cl(C6H16N2)], the ethane-1,2-diamine donor molecule coordinates the metal atom in an N,N′-chelating mode, with Co—N distances of 2.136 (2) and 2.140 (3) Å. An anilide ligand connects to the CoII atom with a σ–bond, the Co—Nanilide distance being 1.931 (2) Å. The four-coordinate CoII atom demonstrates a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry.

Highlights

In the title cobalt(II) compound, [Co(C12H21N2Si)Cl(C6H16N2)], the ethane-1,2-diamine donor molecule coordinates the metal atom in an N,N0 -chelating mode, with Co—N distances of 2.136 (2) and 2.140 (3) Å
The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry
An approximate treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes
