Description:
The title compound, [Co(NH3)6]2Cl5(NO3), was obtained under hydrothermal conditions. The asymmetric unit contains three Co3+ ions, one lying on an inversion center and the other two located at 2/m positions. All Co3+ ions are six-coordinated by NH3 molecules, forming [Co(NH3)6]3+ octahedra, with Co—N distances in the range 1.945 (4)–1.967 (3) Å. The nitrate N atom and one of the O atoms lie at a mirror plane. Among the Cl− anions, one lies in a general position, one on a twofold axis and two on a mirror plane. N—H...O and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into a three-dimensional network.
