Tetraammine(carbonato-κ²O,O′)cobalt(III) perchlorate

In the title complex, [Co(CO₃)(NH₃)₄]ClO₄, both the cation and anion lie on a mirror plane. The Co^III ion is coordinated by two NH₃ ligands and a chelating carbonato ligand in the equatorial sites and by two NH₃ groups in the axial sites, forming a distorted octa­hedral geometry. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen bonds connect the anions and cations, forming a three-dimensional network.
