In the title compound, [Co(C8H7BrNO)3], the CoIII ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral environment by three N atoms and three O atoms from three bidentate 4-bromo-2-(methyliminomethyl)phenolate ligands. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings are 82.6 (2), 57.1 (2) and 62.9 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of weak C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
In both complex molecules in the asymmetric unit, the FeIII ion has a distorted O5Cl octahedral coordination environment defined by two bidentate 2-ethoxy-6-formylphenolato ligands, one Cl atom and one water molecule. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the two independent molecules to form a dimer while the solvent molecule is linked to the complex molecule by a weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bond. Further weak C—H⋯O interactions along with weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the components into chains parallel to [001].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
