P. Laavanya et al., CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF TRANS-BIS(DODECYLAMINE) BIS(DIMETHYLGLYOXIMATO)COBALT(III) NITRITE, Journal of chemical crystallography, 28(1), 1998, pp. 83-86
An octahedral geometry for the molecule of the title complex with very
slight distortions around Co(III) is confirmed by single-crystal X-ra
y diffraction study. The molecular structure of the complex has been s
hown to contain two dodecylamine moieties in the trans orientations, t
wo N-bonded dimethylglyoximato (DMG) groups and an uncoordinated nitri
te ion.
