Abstract

The dinuclear title complex, [Co₂(C₅H₇O₂)₄(μ-OH)₂] or [Co(acac)₂(μ-OH)]₂, where acac is acetylacetonate, is centrosymmetric with half of the molecule per asymmetric unit. The molecular structure is a dimer of octahedrally coordinated Co^III atoms with four O atoms from two chelating acac ligands and two O atoms from bridging hydroxide ligands. The crystal packing features weak C-H···O interactions between neighboring molecules, leading to the formation of chains normal to the ac plane. The hydroxide H atoms are not involved in hydrogen bonding because of the bulky acac ligands. This is the first crystal structure reported of a dimeric transition metal bis-acac complex with OH^- as the bridging group.
