The reaction of cobalt dibromide hexahydrate with 2,2’-bipyridine (bpy) and mesitylphosphinic acid MesP(O)(OH)H (Mes = = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) under solvothermal synthesis conditions leads to a new dinuclear cobalt(ii) complex {Co 2 [µ-O 2 P(H)Mes] 2 - (bpy) 4 }Br 2 formed by two bridging {µ-O2P(H)Mes}– ligands. X-ray crystal structure analysis of the complex displayed that cobalt ions have distorted octahedral coordination and are doubly bridged by two mesitylphosphinato ligands.
