Abstract

The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/a, a=11.50(2), b=7.724(1), c=12.599(3) Å, β=102.22(5)°, Z=4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares to R=0.049 for 1032 observed reflections. The cobalt atom is π-bonded to the cyclopentadienyl ring, with a mean Co-C distance of 2.07(1) Å, and also π-bonded to the cyclonoatetraene ring at C(2)-C(3) and at C(6)-C(7), with a mean Co-C distance of 2.00(1) Å.
