Abstract: 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 {Co₂[µ-O₂P(H)Mes]₂- (bpy)₄}Br₂ 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.

Keywords: 2,2'-bipyridine, bridging phosphinate ligands, dinuclear cobalt complexes, X-Ray crystal structure, quantum-chemical study.
