metal-organic compounds
The crystal structure of anhydrous trans-(aniline)chlorobis[dimethylglyoximato(1-)]cobalt(III), [CoCl(C4H7N2O2)2(C6H7N)], has been determined. The Co ion shows a distorted octahedral coordination with the N atoms of dimethylglyoximato ligands in the equatorial sites and the N atom of aniline and the Cl atom in the apical sites. From the values of the Co-N distances and the N-Co-N angles it is deduced that both equatorial ligands are dimethylglyoximato(1-), while in the previously determined dihydrated compound the protonation sites are such as to give a (dimethylglyoxime)[dimethylglyoximato(2-)]cobalt complex.
