THE CRYSTAL PACKING OF BIS(2,2'-DIPYRIDYLAMIDO)COBALT(II), CO(DPA)(2), IS STABILIZED BY C-H-CENTER-DOT-CENTER-DOT-CENTER-DOT-N BONDS - ARE THERE ANY REAL PRECEDENTS
Fa. Cotton et al., THE CRYSTAL PACKING OF BIS(2,2'-DIPYRIDYLAMIDO)COBALT(II), CO(DPA)(2), IS STABILIZED BY C-H-CENTER-DOT-CENTER-DOT-CENTER-DOT-N BONDS - ARE THERE ANY REAL PRECEDENTS, Chemical communications, (17), 1997, pp. 1673-1674
A crystallographic study of Co(dpa)(2) reveals that the pseudo-tetrahe
dral molecules stack together to form a one-dimensional ribbon with th
e molecules linked together through significant C-H ... N interactions
; the C ... N separation is 3.41(3) Angstrom and the angle at the hydr
ogen atom is 177(2)degrees.
