{N,N′-Bis[(E)-3-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-yl-idene]propane-1,3-diamine- 2 N,N′]dichloridocobalt(II)

Abstract

The CoII atom in the title monomeric Schiff base complex, [CoCl2 (C21H22N2)], is bonded to two Cl atoms and to two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis-[(E)-3- phenyl-prop-2-en-1-yl-idene]propane-1,3-diamine in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The mol-ecule has an idealised mirror symmetry, but is not located on a crystallographic mirror plane.
