    Abstract

    The title methanol solvate, [CoCl2(C18H15OP)2]·0.125CH3OH, crystallized when a methanol solution of CoCl2(OPPh3)2, contained in a 0.7 mm diameter tube, was subjected to vapour diffusion using Et2O anti-solvent but the more common unsolvated crystals formed when a 10 mm tube was used. The four crystallographically distinct CoCl2(OPPh3)2 mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title structure have similar configurations. In each case, one O - P bond projects into the region between the two Cl atoms [P - O - Co - Cl = 21.2 (8)-42.1 (8)°], and the other is directed away [P - O - Co - Cl = 110.9 (8)-147.4 (6)°]. The Cl - Co - Cl angles range from 116.4 (1) to 125.6 (1)° and O - Co - O from 104.3 (3) to 107.2 (2)°. The crystal studied was an inversion twin. © International Union of Crystallography 2007.
