(Carbonato-κO,O')bis-(di-2-pyridyl-amine-κN,N')cobalt(III) bromide.

In the title compound, [Co(CO(3))(C(10)H(9)N(3))(2)]Br, a distorted octa-hedral coordination of the Co(III) atom is completed by four N atoms of the two chelating di-2-pyridyl-amine ligands and two O atoms of the chelating carbonate anion. The di-2-pyridyl-amine ligands are nonplanar and the dihedral angles between the 2-pyridyl groups are 29.11 (9) and 37.15 (12)°. The coordination cation, which has approximate C(2) symmetry, is connected to the bromide ion via an N-H⋯Br(-) hydrogen bond. The ionic pair thus formed is further assembled into a dimer via N-H⋯O inter-actions about an inversion centre. A set of weaker C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br(-) inter-actions connect the dimers into a three-dimensional network.
