A New Diiminopyridyl Cobalt Complex [CoCl_2L](L=2,6-Bis(N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropyl-4-(2,3-dimethyoxylbenzoylamide)phenylimino))pyridine)

The reaction of CoCl2·6H2O with 2,6-bis（N,N＇-bis（2,6-diisopropyl-4-（2,3-dimethy-oxyl-benzoylamide）phenylimino））pyridine（L） afforded the complex [CoCl2L],which was fully characterized by elemental analysis,UV-vis,IR spectroscopy,fluorescence,and X-ray diffraction analysis.The compound is of triclinic system,space group P1 with a = 13.058（3）,b = 13.798（3）,c = 16.695（3） ,α = 98.191（3）,β = 102.792（3）,γ = 101.820（3）°,V = 2815.0（9） 3,Z = 2,F（000） = 1122,μ = 0.45 mm-1,R = 0.061 and wR = 0.1349 for 9842 observed reflections（Ⅰ 〉 2σ（Ⅰ））.The Co（Ⅱ） center adopts a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry.The extended structure shows a one-dimensional zigzag double chain linked by hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions.
