Abstract

Two examples of a new class of high oxidation state complexes having complex anion and complex cation of cobalt(III) are presented. The complexes [CoL(py)3][CoL2] · 2H2O (1) and [CoL(im)3][CoL2] · H2O (2) (where L = dipicolinato anion, py = pyridine and im = imidazole) are characterized by determining their crystal structures and studying their properties in solution. The complex anionic and cationic parts form layered structures through hydrogen-bond interactions with water molecule of crystallization. Alternate layers of complex cations and anions hydrogen bond with water molecules of crystallization to make tight packed structures.
