The Crystal Structure of the Cluster Complex [{Co(phen)2}2V4O12] . H2O

The crystal structure of [{Co(phen)2}2V4O12] . H2O consists of hexanuclear bimetallic clusters [{Co(phen)2}2V4O12]. The cyclic [VV4O12]4- anion acts as a bidentate bridging ligand between the two [Co(phen)2]2+ cations. The pi-pi stacking interactions between the parallel 1,10 phenantroline (phen) groups play a significant role in stabilizing this structure. The title compound crystallizes in the P21/c space group.

Keywords: cyclic tetravanadate bridging anion, 1,10 phenantroline, hexanuclear bimetallic cobalt clusters, X-ray diffraction, structure analysis
