trans-Bis{2-[1-(hydroxyimino)ethyl]phenolato}cobalt(II).

In the title compound, [Co(C8H8NO2)2], the Co atom has a distorted square-planar coordination involving two N atoms and two O atoms from two ethanone 1-(2-hydroxy­phen­yl)oximato ligands. The mol­ecular structure and packing are stabilized by intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­molecular inter­action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
