Bis-[N,N-bis-(di-phenyl-phosphan-yl)cyclo-hexa-namine-κ(2) P,P']di-chlorido-cobalt(III) tris-(μ-di-phenyl-phos-phinato-κ(2) O:O')bis-[chloridocobaltate(II)]-di-chloro-methane-diethyl ether (1/1.189/0.811).

The DCM-Et(2)O solvated title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(30)H(31)NP(2))(2)][Co(2)(C(12)H(10)O(2)P)(3)Cl(2)]·1.189CH(2)Cl(2)·0.811C(4)H(10)O or [CoCl(2){Ph(2)PN(C(6)H(11))PPh(2)}(2)][Co(2){Ph(2)PO(2)}(3)Cl(2)]·1.189DCM·0.811Et(2)O, is a combination of a cationic Co(III)-amino-diphosphine and a dimetallic Co(II)-di-phenyl-phospho-nate anionic species. The asymmetric unit features one half of the cationic and anionic species with solvent mol-ecules in the outer coordination sphere. The metal centre of the cation is located on an inversion center, while the anion is disordered around an inversion center. The cyclo-hexa-nyl moiety of the amino-diphosphine ligand exhibits two-component rotational disorder along the N-C bond, the moiety's major component occupancy refined to 71.1†(7)%. The di-chloro-methane and diethyl ether solvate mol-ecules are disordered with each other and were modelled with 59.4†(3)% and 40.6†(3)% site occupancies in the asymmetric unit, respectively. Inter-molecular C-H⋯π hydrogen-bonding patterns form infinite supra-molecular sheets extending parallel to (110). C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds were also found in the crystal packing of the title compound.
