Crystal structure of [Co(NH3)6][Co(CO)4]2.


ABSTRACT: Hexaamminecobalt(II) bis-[tetra-carbonyl-cobaltate(-I)], [Co(NH3)6][Co(CO)4]2, was synthesized by reaction of liquid ammonia with Co2(CO)8. The Co(II) atom is coordinated by six ammine ligands. The resulting polyhedron, the hexa-amminecobalt(II) cation, exhibits point group symmetry -3. The Co(-I) atom is coordinated by four carbonyl ligands, leading to a tetra-carbonyl-cobaltate(-I) anion in the shape of a slightly distorted tetra-hedron, with point group symmetry 3. The crystal structure is related to that of high-pressure BaC2 (space group R-3m), with the [Co(NH3)6](2+) cations replacing the Ba sites and the [Co(CO)4](-) anions replacing the C sites. N-H?O hydrogen bonds between cations and anions stabilize the structural set-up in the title compound.
