DI(AQUA)BIS[(ETA(5)-CYCLOPENTADIENYL)TRIS(DIMETHYLPHOSPHITO-P)COBALT-O,O ',O'']LANTHANUM(III) CHLORIDE

Abstract

The La atom in the title compound, diaqua-1 kappa(2)O-bis[2,3(eta(5))-cyclopentadienyl]hexakis(mu-dimethyl phosphito)-1 kappa(3)O:2 kappa(3)P;1 kappa(3)O:3 kappa(3);3P-dicobaltlanthanum chloride, [Co2La(C2H6O3P)(6)(C5H5)(2)(H2O)(2)]Cl, is eight coordinate The coordination polyhedron around the La atom is nearly a square antiprism, consisting of eight O atoms contributed by two tripodal Go-complex ligands and two water molecules.
