摘要:
The crystal structure of the title compound, N-benzyl-N',N'-dimethyl-N-(2-pyridinio)-1, 2-ethanediammonium tetrachlorocobaltate (II), (C16H23N3) [COCl4], contains the dihydro cation of tripelennamine, an anti-allergic drug effective on H-l-type receptors. The molecular dimensions in the cation are normal. Two Cl atoms of the anion are involved in hydrogen bonds with different cations, with N ... Cl distances of 3.099(5) and 3.225 (5) Angstrom. The CoCl42- anion exhibits a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry.
