trans-Bis{2-[3-(cyclo­hexyl­amino)­propyl­imino­methyl]­naphtholato}cobalt(III) perchlorate

The title complex, [Co(C₂₀H₂₅N₂O)₂]ClO₄, is very similar to the mononuclear complex [Co(C₁₆H₂₃N₂O)₂]ClO₄, which we reported recently [You, Qu, Liu, Tan & Zhu (2003). Acta Cryst. E59, m1038–m1040]. The central Co^III atom, lying on an inversion center, is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms from two Schiff bases, giving an approximately octahedral coordination environment.
