Abstract
Crystals of Co3((R,S)-EDDS)2 . 14 H2O are monoclinic with lattice parameters a = 1.1393, b = 1.1856, c = 1.5267 nm, β = 114.6°. The space group is P21/c, Z = 2. The structure was solved by the heavy atom method and refined by the least squares method to R = 0.082. The crystals are composed of binuclear [CO2((R,S-EDDS)2]2- anions, [CO(OH2)6]2+ cations and crystal water molecules. The cobalt atom in [Co2((R,S)-EDDS)2]2- is coordinated octahedrally by two nitrogen atoms and three oxygen atoms from different carboxyl groups in a single [(R,S)-EDDS]4- molecule and one oxygen atom from a neighbouring [(R,S)-EDDS]4- molecule. The [Co(OH2)6]2+ cation is coordinated octahedrally.
