Abstract

Delocalization of the imidazole electron density is observed in both structures. In the dichlorocobalt complex structure, the two crystallographically independent mercaptobenzimidazole molecules are attached together through the direct bonding of the Co(II) ion with two S atoms. The cohesion of the molecules in the crystals is due to intermolecular N−H...S, and; intra and intermolecular N−H...Cl hydrogen bonds, respectively.
