[beta]-(1,10-Phenanthroline)(1,3-propanediamine-N,N'-diacetato)cobalt(III) Chloride Trihydrate

The crystal structure of [Co(C₁₂H₈N₂)(C₇H₁₂N₂O₄)]Cl·3H₂O is the first reported structure of a cobalt complex with the tetradentate 1,3-propanediamine-N,N'-diacetato ligand and it has adopted a [beta] unsymmetrical cis configuration. The phenanthroline fills the two remaining coordination sites to give an approximately octahedral geometry around the Co atom.
