Bis[bis(2-pyridyl)amine-N,N′](nitrato-O,O′)cobalt(II) nitrate
Abstract
The crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(NO3)(C10H9N3)2]NO3, consists of mononuclear cations and uncoordinated nitrate anions held together by means of an extensive three-dimensional network of N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The CoII centre has a distorted octahedral geometry, coordinated with two O atoms of a bidentate nitrate ligand and with four pyridine N atoms of two bis(2-pyridyl)amine ligands in a trans–trans mode.
