Tris[N-(3-chloro­phen­yl)pyridine-2-carboxamidato-κ²N,N′]cobalt(III) monohydrate

The title complex, [Co(C₁₂H₈ClN₂O)₃]·H₂O, has been synthesized for the first time. The complex comprises three bidentate ligands containing the pyridine-2-carboxamide nucleus. The distorted octa­hedral coordination around the Co atom is formed via the pyridine N atom and the deprotonated amide N atom of each ligand. One inter­molecular hydrogen bond forms between a carbonyl O atom of one ligand and the single water mol­ecule.
