What are the physical properties of the cation tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III)?
[Co(en)3]Cl3 was important in coordination chemistry for its stability and stereochemistry and has been isolated as yellow, golden, needle like crystals. It is also described as a yellow, orange solid, soluble in water. The racemic complex is commonly obtained as the di or tri-hydrate although other hydrated forms are known.(Ref:Wikipedia)
The computed physical properties and other chemical data are well documented on @pubchem.

I am well aware. But I wanted to know more about the cation [Co(en)3]3+ (tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III)), not the compound [Co(en)3]Cl3 (tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride).More
I couldnt find any picture of the structure of Co[en]3 without the chloride anions mentioned. There is actually very little easily accessible information about Co[en]3 alone as a cation and not as a component of a compound. Thus, I asked this question.More
