The title compound, the new phase [CoCl3(BTA)]·BTA·H2O (BTA is benzotriazole, C6H5N3), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction methods. In the monomeric complex, the Co3+ ion is four-coordinated by three Cl anions and one N atom of the BTA, forming a distorted tetrahedral coordination. There are also uncoordinated BTA mol­ecules in the crystal structure, lying between the parallel ring planes of the coordinated BTA ligands and involved in π–π interactions. The asymmetric unit, which is the entire unit cell in space group P1, contains two molecules each of the complex, uncoordinated BTA and water.

Special details top

Experimental. Hydrogen atoms of benzotriazoles were generated theoretically. Hydrogen atoms of waters were found on difference Fourier map and moved to have standard O—H distanse. All hydrogen atoms were rided on their parent atoms in the final refinement.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
