[Bis(diphenylphosphino)methane]bis(pyridine-2-thiolato N-oxide)cobalt(III) perchlorate diethyl ether solvate
Abstract
The reaction between the metal diphosphine [Cu2(μ2-dppm)2(MeCN)4](ClO4)2 [dppm is bis(diphenylphosphino)methane] and the metal–thiolate component [Co(mpo)3] (mpo is 2-mercaptopyridine N-oxide) gave the title compound, [Co(C5H4NOS)2(C25H22P2)]ClO4·C4H10O, in which one mpo ligand in [Co(mpo)3] was displaced by dppm. The CoIII atom is located in a distorted octahedral coordination environment. Two S atoms of two mpo ligands are in trans positions.
