Co-ordination of Transition Metals by the Perchlorate Ion: The Crystal Structure of Co(Ph2MeAsO)4(CI04)2

Abstract

As reported by Lewis, Nyholm and Rodley (preceding communication), diphenylmethylarsine oxide (Ph2MeAsO) forms a series of complexes with the metal II perchlorates of manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc. The magnetic properties of this series, together with their absorption spectra in the ultra-violet, visible and infra-red regions, are discussed by those authors. Since the structural implications of these physical properties were not entirely conclusive, we have undertaken a structure analysis of the cobalt compound by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.
