Abstract
In the title compound, [Co(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(4))Cl(H(2)O)]·C(3)H(7)NO, the Co(III) ion is six-coordinated by a tetra-dentate 6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]diphenolate ligand, with a chloride ion and an aqua ligand in the apical positions. The compound crystallized as a dimethyl-formamide (DMF) monosolvate. In the crystal, complex mol-ecules are linked via O-H(water)⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a dimer-like arrangement. These dimers are linked via a C-H⋯Cl inter-action, and the DMF mol-ecule is linked to the complex mol-ecule by C-H⋯O inter-actions.
