%X A single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound is reported. The compound crystallizes in the space group P1 with a 7.273(1), b 8.525(2), c 12.358(3) Å, &#945; 80.03(3),&#946; 75.38(2), &#947; 65.06(2)º and Z 2. The final R value for 3318 reflections was 0.041. The structure consists of two independent trans- dichlorobis (l,3-diaminopropan-2-ol)cobalt(III) cations and chloride ions interconnected by a hydrogen bonding network. The axial Co-Cl bonds in the pseudo-octahedral coordination sphere are shorter than those in the coordination sphere of the copper(II) analogue. The compression is clearly related to the simultaneous flattening of the rings.
