Synthesis and characterization of a new Organic – Inorganic sulfate (C5H6N2O)2[Co(H2O)6]3(SO4)4.2H2O

crystals of a new hybrid compound, (C 5 H 6 N 2 O) 2 [Co(H 2 O) 6 ] 3 (SO 4 ) 4 .2H 2 O, were synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized. This compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with the space group P-1, the unit cell :a=6.632(3) A, b=11.769(5) A, c=14.210(6) A, α=67.86(4)°, β=81.32(4)°, γ=85.18(4)° and V=1015.14(8) A 3 . Its crystal structure can be described as a packing of alternated inorganic and organic layers. The different components are connected by a three-dimensional network of O-H…O and N-H…O hydrogen bonds.
