Abstract
The title compound, [N3P3(C5H7N2)4(C6H5)2]CoCl2 or [CoCl2(C32H38N11P3)], possesses a five-coordinated CoII atom in an approximately trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The N3Cl2 donor set of the metal environment comprises two non-geminal pyrazolyl N atoms, one cyclotriphosphazene N atom, and two Cl− ions. The coordination environment and bonding features of the compound are critically compared with related metal complexes of cyclotriphosphazene ligands.
