Abstract
Abstract A new heterometallic compound, [CoCl(NH3)5][KCr(C2O4)3]·0.5H2O (1), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectra, thermal analysis, variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 consists of two-dimensional [{KCr(C2O4)3}n]2n− layers, [CoCl(NH3)5]2+ ions and water molecules. Within the 2-D layer, three different types of oxalate coordination modes are present. Each K cation is coordinated by eight oxygen atoms from oxalate groups and also weakly interacts with the ninth oxygen atom. The extensive network of hydrogen bond is formed between the [KCr(C2O4)3]2− layer and the [CoCl(NH3)5]2+ ions. These interactions involve all hydrogen atoms of ammonia ligads and water molecule.
