Abstract
A trinuclear cobalt carbonyl complex SCo3(CO)9 was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals are triclinic, space group P-1 with a = 9.4646(9), b = 12.944(3), c = 13.182(3) Å, α = 109.57(3), β = 107.78(3), γ = 97.61(3)°, V = 1398.5(5) Å3, Z = 4, F(000) = 892, Dc = 2.189 g/cm3, μ = 3.706 mm−1, the final R = 0.0440, and wR = 0.0913. A total of 14,299 reflections were collected, of which 6539 were independent (Rint = 0.0789). In the crystal packing diagram, the van der Waals’ interactions stabilize the solid state.
