Description
Summary:The DCM-Et2O solvated title compound, [CoCl2(C30H31NP2)2][Co2(C12H10O2P)3Cl2]·1.189CH2Cl2·0.811C4H10O or [CoCl2{Ph2PN(C6H11)PPh2}2][Co2{Ph2PO2}3Cl2]·1.189DCM·0.811Et2O, is a combination of a cationic CoIII-aminodiphosphine and a dimetallic CoII-diphenylphosphonate anionic species. The asymmetric unit features one half of the cationic and anionic species with solvent molecules in the outer coordination sphere. The metal centre of the cation is located on an inversion center, while the anion is disordered around an inversion center. The cyclohexanyl moiety of the aminodiphosphine ligand exhibits two-component rotational disorder along the N—C bond, the moiety's major component occupancy refined to 71.1 (7)%. The dichloromethane and diethyl ether solvate molecules are disordered with each other and were modelled with 59.4 (3)% and 40.6 (3)% site occupancies in the asymmetric unit, respectively. Intermolecular C—H...π hydrogen-bonding patterns form infinite supramolecular sheets extending parallel to (110). C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds were also found in the crystal packing of the title compound.
