Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structure of tetrahedral cobalt(II) complex with 2,2′-biquinoline ligand

چکیده مقاله

The complex [Co(biq)Cl₂] (biq is 2,2′-biquinoline) was prepared from the reaction of CoCl₂·6H₂O with 2,2′-biquinoline in a 1:1 mixture of methanol/chloroform. This complex was characterized by IR, UV-vis, CV, and the single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal data for [Co(biq)Cl₂] at 25°C are as follows: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with a = 7.9925(10)Å, b = 12.2108(8)Å, c = 16.8030(19)Å, β = 102.617(9)° and Z = 4.
