Synthesis and Single Crystal X-Ray Crystallographic Analysis of 2-oxo-2,3- dihydropyrimidin-1-ium{trichloridopyrimidin-2(1H)-one} Cobaltate (II) [H₂pymo][CoCl₃(Hpymo)]

Abstract

Mechanochemical synthetic method was employed to synthesise bis(2-oxo-2,3-dihydropyrimidin-1-ium) tetrachlorocobaltate(II) [H₂pymo]₂[CoCl₄]. The compound was re-crystallized in diethyl ether to obtain a suitable single crystal for X-ray diffraction analysis which revealed a molecule crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with the chiral space group P2₁2₁2₁ and a Flack parameter value of 0.514 (13). The asymmetric unit of the cell contains one discrete [H₂pymo]+ cation and a [CoCl₃(Hpymo)]- anion which are bonded to each other through N—H···O and N—H···Cl interactions.
