Abstract An X-ray structural study of the cobalt(ii) chloride complex with triphenyl-N-(2-pyrimidyl)phosphineimine has been performed (automatic diffractometer, λMo-−K α, 2916 observed reflections, the heavy-atom method, the least squares method in anisotropicisotropic approximation toR=0.043). The crystals are monoclinic,a=15.979(6) Å,b=17.391(6) Å,c=14.976(6) Å, β=104.21(2)°,V=4034(5) Å3,d calc=1.384 g cm−3,Z=4, space groupP21/c. The Co atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination by two Cl atoms (2.268(2) Å and 2.278(3) Å) and two N atoms (2.030(4) Å and 2.025(5) Å) of the two pyrimidine heterocycles. The Cl-Co-Cl and N-Co-N bond angles are equal to 107.7(1)° and 123.4(2)°, respectively. Additional weak coordination of the Co atom by two N atoms of the imine groups [Co...N 2.982(4) Å and 3.045(4) Å] is also observed in the molecule of the complex, and this coordination changes the nearest environment of the Co atom to distorted octahedral coordination. The lengths of the phosphorus-imine P=N bonds are 1.596(6) Å and 1.585(6) Å. The results obtained are compared with previous structural investigations of similar complexes of transition metals with iminophosphoranes.
