Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(C24H30N2P2)(CO)3][Co(CO)4]·0.25C7H8, consists of two crystallographically independent cations with similar conformations, two anions, and one-half of a toluene mol-ecule disordered about an inversion centre. In the cations, a Co/P/N/P four-membered slightly bent metallacycle is the key structural element. The pendant NH group is not coordinated to the Co(I) atom, which displays a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. Weak inter-ionic hydrogen bonds are observed between the NH groups and a carbonyl group of the tetrahedral [Co(CO)4](-) anions.
