Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of s-fac-[Co((S)-Asp)(medien)]ClO4 . H2O . HClO4 was elucidated by the heavy atom method. The positional parameters of the nonhydrogen atoms and their anisotropic temperature parameters were refined based on 2 474 observed reflection with final values of R = 0.0603 and wR = 0.0616. The substance crystallized in the orthorhombic system in the space group P212121, Z = 4, a = 8.536(1), b = 13.378(1), c = 16.899(2) Å. The structure comprises layers of the complex cation which alternate with layers containing two perchlorate anions and one hydroxonium cation. The five-membered chelate ring of 4-methyl-1,4,7-triazaheptane exist in the asymmetric λ, δ envelope conformations and the N-CH3 group of the triamine has the exo orientation. The five-membered ring of (S)-aspartic acid assumes the symmetric envelope conformation, the six-membered chelate ring, the skew boat conformation.
