Polymeric potassium triformatocobalt(II).
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In the crystal structure of the title compound, poly[tri-μ-formato-cobalt(II)potassium], [CoK(CHO(2))(3)](n) the Co(2+) cations are coordinated by six O-bonded formate anions in an octa-hedral coordination mode and the K(+) cations are eightfold coordinated by seven O-bonded formate anions within irregular polyhedra. The Co(2+) cations are connected by bridging formate anions into a three-dimensional coordination network in which the K(+) cations are embedded. The asymmetric unit consits of one Co(2+) cation located on a center of inversion, one K(+) cation located on a twofold axis and two crystallographically independent formato anions, of which one is located on a twofold axis and the other occupies a general position.
