Crystal structure of Co(III) α-dimethylglyoximates with imidazole

Аннотация

Two new dimethylglyoximate complexes [Co(DmgH)₂(Im)Cl] (I) and (ImH)[Co(DmgH₂)₂Cl₂] (II), where DmgH⁻ is the dimethylglyoxime residue and Im is the imidazole molecule, are synthesized. The composition and structure of the crystals are determined from the elemental analysis, IR spectra, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex I is molecular, containing the Im molecule as a coordinated ligand; complex II is of the ionic type with (ImH)⁺ involved as an outer-sphere organic cation. The mode of component packing in the crystals mainly depends on the imidazole position in the compounds.
