Abstract

The X-ray crystal structures of cis-[CoCl(en) 2(enH)]Cl(ZnCl 4) ( 1) and rac-μ-en[ cis-CoCl(en) 2] 2(ZnCl 4) 2 ( 2) are reported. Complex 1 crystallises in the monoclinic space group P2 1/ n with Z=4, while 2 is in the chiral orthorhombic space group P2 12 12 1 with Z=4. These represent the first X-ray crystal structures of cobalt complexes containing either a monodentate or bridging ethylenediamine ligand. The conformations of the en ligands are also discussed.
