Abstract: Polynuclear mixed oxidation CoIII—CoII—CoIII complex formulated as{[(HL)(SCN)Co](m-L)[Co(SCN)4](m-L)[Co(SCN)(HL)]}2.2(C2H5OH).2(H2O) (1) has been prepared from a Schiff base (HL = N, N-dimethyl-N'- ((5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methylene)ethane-1,2-diamine) containing imidazole ring. The complex (1) is characterized by elemental analysis, UV–Vis and IR spectroscopic studies. The complex (1) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with unit cell dimensions a = 11.3017 (7) Å, b = 15.1468 (11) Å, c = 18.9796 (18) Å, = 71.849 (7)°, = 82.048 (7)°, = 86.477 (6)°, V = 3057.1 (4) Å3, Z = 1, R1 = 0.092 and wR2 = 0.308. Both CoIIandCoIIIcationsare in a N6 inner and are situated in a distorted octahedral environment. The CoII cation is linked by two imidazole nitrogen atoms and fournitrogenatoms from thiocyanate anions. The CoIII cation is octacoordinated is linked by two imidazole nitrogen.......
