description

In the title complex, [Co(C25H35N2O)2], the cobalt(II) atom has a distorted tetrahedral geometry provided by pairs of O and N atoms. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings of the same ligand are 52.39 (9) and 34.96 (9)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is stabilized mainly by van der Waals forces. The structure contains a solvent-accessible void of 276 Å3which was treated using the SQUEEZE routine fromPLATON[Spek (2015).Acta Cryst.C71, 9–18]. The methyl C atoms of thetert-butyl groups are rotationally disordered, with site occupancies of 0.802 (3) and 0.548 (9) for the major components and 0.198 (3) and 0.452 (9) for the minor components.
