Description:
The reaction of 2-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazol-3-yl)acetic acid (NBTA) and triethanolamine (TEA) with Co(NO3)2results in the formation of the title complex, [Co(C6H15NO3)2](C9H6NO3S)2, which is formed as a result of the association of bis(triethanolamine)cobalt(II) and 2-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazol-3-yl)acetate units. It crystallizes in the monoclinic centrosymmetric space groupP21/c, with the CoIIion situated on an inversion centre. In the complex cation, the CoIIion is octahedrally coordinated by twoN,O,O′-tridentate TEA molecules with a facial distribution and the N atoms in atransarrangement. Two ethanol groups of each TEA molecule form two five-membered chelate rings around the CoIIion, while the third ethanol group does not coordinate to the metal. The free and coordinating hydroxy groups of the TEA molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding with the O atoms of NBTA anions, forming an infinite two-dimensional network extending parallel to thebcplane.
