Structure of the Tris(diallyldithiocarbamate)cobalt(III) Complex

Abstract

The structure of [Co{S2CN(CH2-CH=CH2)2}3] was determined by the heavy atom method, all nonhydrogen atoms being refined by anisotropic diagonal approximation using the least squares method to the value of R= 0.067 for 1 024 reflections with I ≥ 1.96σ(I). The substance is isostructural with [Fe{S2CN(CH2-CH=CH2)2}3], crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, lattice parameters a = 1.8763(9), b = 1.0209(5), c = 1.5402(7) nm, β = 106.18(4)°, Z = 4. Cobalt is coordinated by 3 dithiocarbamate ligands in the bidentate way, the average Co-S lenght is 0.2267(2) nm. The metal atom and two ligand atoms are located on the twofold axis. The CoS6 polyhedron is a trigonally distorted octahedron.
