[N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxynaphthylmethenylimino)-1,2-ethanediaminato]cobalt(II).

The article focuses on the crystallization of the compound [N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxynaphthylmethenylimino)-1,2-ethanediaminato]cobalt(II). The compound formed is mononuclear. In the crystal structure the cobalt atom is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms from a bis-Schiff base ligand in a square planar geometry. In the experiment 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 1,2-diaminoethane were dissolved in MeOH.
