Crystal structure determinations
For diffractometry the crystals were mounted onto glass fibres
with Supa Glue. Lattice parameters were determined by least
squares fits to the setting parameters of 25 independent reflec-
tions, measured and refined with an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 dif-
fractometer using graphite-monochromated Mo-Kα radiation.
The structures were solved by heavy-atom methods (direct
methods) and refined using full-matrix least squares on F 2.
Programs used were SHELXS-8641 or SIR-9242 for solution,
SHELXL-9343 for refinement and ORTEP44 for plotting. Crys-
tal data are given in Table 1. The geometries of the molecules
are shown in Figs. 2–6 together with atomic numbering
schemes. Selected bond lengths and bond angles are given in
Tables 2–7.
exo-[Co(Et(HO)N3S2amp)Cl]Cl(ClO4) (exo-3ؒCl(ClO4)). The
solvent was removed from the red/pink eluent under reduced
pressure. The red solid was dissolved in a minimum of water
and NaClO4 was added. The solution was allowed to slowly
evaporate over several days to give red crystals (<0.01 g,
<0.01%). Analysis. Calc. for [C12H29N3OS2ClCo]Cl(ClO4): C,

[Co(dmatue)Cl](ClO4)2ؒH2O (4ؒ(ClO4)2ؒH2O). The first frac-
tion of the rose coloured solution eluted from Sephadex with
0.2 M NaCl was collected and loaded onto Dowex cation
exchange resin (50W × 2 (200–400 mesh) Hϩ form). The Dowex
column was washed with 1 M HCl and elution with 3 M
HCl gave a red–pink solution first followed by some minor
bands. The red-pink eluent was collected separately and the
solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a red
residue. The residue was dissolved in a minimum of water
and NaClO4 was added to afford red crystals (<0.01 g,
<0.01%). Analysis. Calc. for [C12H25N3S2ClCo](ClO4)2ؒH2O: C,

(as its chloride salt) (1.0 g) was dissolved in dimethylformamide
(70 cm3) with an excess of NaClO4 with stirring. The solution
was filtered. To the filtrate was added isobutyraldehyde (10
cm3), paraformaldehyde (0.32 g) and triethylamine (7.6 cm3) in
quick succession with stirring. After stirring for 1 h, the reac-
tion was quenched with acetic acid. The solution was poured
into water (1 L) and filtered. The filtrate was diluted to 2 L and
loaded onto Dowex cation exchange resin (50W × 2 (200–400
mesh) Hϩ form). The column was washed with water and 1 M
HCl to elute a minor pink band. The major band was eluted
with 3 M HCl. The solvent was removed from the eluent under
reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in water (1 L) and
loaded onto Sephadex C-25 cation exchange resin (Naϩ form).
The column was washed with water slightly acidified with HCl
(pH 4). A major pink band was eluted with 0.2 M NaCl
acidified with HCl (pH 4) followed by a series of minor orange
bands. The pink eluent was loaded onto Dowex cation
exchange resin. The column was washed with 1 M HCl and the
product was eluted with 3 M HCl. The solvent was removed
from the eluent to yield a dark pink solid (0.15 g, 11.6%). The
solid was dissolved in a minimum of water and NaClO4 was
dissolved in the solution. The solution was allowed to stand
to produce dark pink crystals. Analysis. Calc. for [C22H42N4-
