“…Prior to this report of Metselaar & De Klerk (1973), and remarkably, after it as well, the isomorphism was apparently merely assumed or misderived from the report of Stroganov et al (1961) notwithstanding their explicit assertion of the lack of isomorphism. As a consequence of the invariable assessment that the chloride and bromide are isomorphic, no alterations to the conclusions of the numerous papers on the magnetic properties of cobalt bromide hexa-hydrate (beginning with the report of antiferromagnetism in this salt by Forstat, Taylor & Spence, 1959) are required. This is rather surprising since the sole published structural study was incorrect.…”

Tetraaquacobalt(II) bromide dihydrate, [Co(H2O)4]Br2 x 2H2O, Mr = 326.83, monoclinic, C2/m, a = 11.0158(12), b = 7.1694(10), c = 6.9111(10) A, beta = 124.761(7)degrees, V = 448.4(1) A3, Z = 2, F(000) = 314, Dx = 2.420 g cm-3, lambda(Mo K alpha) = 0.71069 A, T = 296 K, mu = 107.13 cm-1, R = 0.022 for 532 unique reflections having I greater than 0. The single type of Co ion is octahedrally coordinated by four equivalent water-molecule O atoms at the observed distance 2.081(2) A and two equivalent Br ions at the observed distance 2.6048(5) A in an array which, with respect to its angles, departs only slightly from regular octahedral geometry. The cobalt-oxygen-bromine complex was found to manifest rigid-body behavior. The cobalt-oxygen distance corrected for rigid-body motion was found to be 2.088 A; the corrected cobalt-bromine distance, 2.6081 A. Associated with each complex are two water molecules of hydration. Assignment and refinement of the coordinates of the four non-equivalent H atoms permitted detailed analysis of the hydrogen bonding, which involves each of the four non-equivalent H atoms significantly. The structure as determined in this study differs markedly from that presented in the sole published single-crystal study [Stroganov, Andreev, Kozina & Solov'ev (1961). Vestn. Leningr. Univ. Ser. Mat. Fiz. Khim. 16, 114-119]. In particular, the space-group assignment differs and the pattern of bromine-oxygen distances is quite different. Contrary to Stroganov et al., this structure is isomorphic with that of cobalt chloride hexahydrate.
