Abstract

(CoN2Cl)4(N2)3(CO2)2(NO2Cl)4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four carbon dioxide molecules, four triazane molecules, eight CoN2Cl clusters, and four NO2Cl clusters. In each CoN2Cl cluster, Co+3.50+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two N+0.56+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.55 Å) and one longer (1.71 Å) Co–N bond length. There are two inequivalent N+0.56+ sites. In the first N+0.56+ site, N+0.56+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co+3.50+ atom. In the second N+0.56+ site, N+0.56+ is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Co+3.50+ and one Cl1- atom. The N–Cl bond length is 1.61 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.56+ atom. In each NO2Cl cluster, N+0.56+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (1.70 Å) and one longer (2.63 Å) N–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one O2- and one Cl1- atom. The O–O bond length is 1.23 Å. The O–Cl bond length is 3.41 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent N+0.56+ and two equivalent O2- atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent N+0.56+ atoms.
