Crystal structure of tris­(trans-1,2-di­amino­cyclo­hexane-κ(2) N,N′)cobalt(III) trichloride monohydrate

The synthesis of the title hydrated complex salt, [Co(C(6)H(14)N(2))(3)]Cl(3)·H(2)O, from racemic trans-1,2-di­amino­cyclo­hexane and [CoCl(NH(3))(5)]Cl(2) and its structural characterization are presented in this paper. The product was synthesized in the inter­est of understanding the hydrogen-bonding patterns of coordination complexes. Previous characterizations of the product in the I-42d space group have not yielded coordinates; thus, this paper provides the first coordinates for this complex in this space group. The octahedrally coordinated cation adopts twofold rotation symmetry, with outer-sphere chloride counter-ions and solvent water mol­ecules forming a hydrogen-bonded network with amine H atoms.
