Abstract

(Co(CO)4)2(Co(CO)3)2Si crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight akos016035116 molecules, four silicon molecules, and eight Co(CO)4 clusters. In each Co(CO)4 cluster, Co2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four C+1.14+ atoms. There are a spread of Co–C bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.92 Å. There are four inequivalent C+1.14+ sites. In the first C+1.14+ site, C+1.14+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co2+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the second C+1.14+ site, C+1.14+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Co2+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.18 Å. In the third C+1.14+ site, C+1.14+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co2+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. In the fourth C+1.14+ site, C+1.14+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co2+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.14+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.14+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.14+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.14+ atom.
