Diaqua[5,5′-dicarboxy-2,2′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(1H-imidazole-4-carboxylato)]cobalt(II)
In the title complex, [Co(C12H8N4O8)(H2O)2], the CoII atom is coordinated by two N and two O atoms of the tetradentate 5,5′-dicarboxy-2,2′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate) anion. The slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment is completed by th...

| Summary: | In the title complex, [Co(C12H8N4O8)(H2O)2], the CoII atom is coordinated by two N and two O atoms of the tetradentate 5,5′-dicarboxy-2,2′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate) anion. The slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment is completed by the O atoms of two water molecules in axial positions. An intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond between the carboxy and carboxylate groups stabilizes the molecular configuration. Adjacent molecules are linked through O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the carboxy/carboxylate groups, water molecules and imidazole fragments into a three-dimensional network. |
