Abstract

In the title compound, the CoIII ion has a slightly distorted square bipyramidal environment, coordinated by one oxalate ion and two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands. Four atoms O1a, N1, N2 and N1a are in a square planar arrangement and two atoms O1 and N2a are axial [average Co-N distance = 1.942(3)Å and Co-O distance = 1.899(2)Å]. The two dimensional structure is formed by parallel layers to (100) with a = 1/4 and a = 3/4 which delimits c axis tunnels. The title compound belongs to the orthorhombic space group Ibca, with a = 15.492(3)Å, b = 17.938(5)Å, c = 19.635Å, V = 5457(2)Å3 and Z = 8. Refinement gave R = 0.049 and wR(F2) = 0.1447 for 2584 unique observed reflections (I > 2 σ(I))
