Description:
In the molecule of the title compound, [Co(C44H24Cl4N4){(C4H9)3P}2]ClO4, the CoIIIcentre has a slightly distorted octahedral geometry and is coordinated by four N atoms of the tetrapyrrolic ring in the equatorial positions and two phosphine ligands in the axial positions. The dihedral angles betweenmeso-substituted chlorophenyl rings and the basic tetrapyrrolic ring are 82.66 (9), 82.16 (7), 83.97 (11) and 76.87 (8)°. In one of the phosphine ligands, the two terminal methyl groups are disordered over two positions with refined site-occupancy ratios of 0.70 (7):0.30 (7) and 0.66 (2):0.34 (2). In the crystal structure, molecules are linked together along theaaxis by intermolecular C—H...Cl interactions. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intramolecular C—H...O and C—H...N interactions and intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...π interactions.
