Abstract Structures, conformations, and crystallization behavior of compounds cis-α-[Co(trien)(NO2)2]·ClO4 (I), cis-β-[Co(trien)(NO2)2]Br·2H2O (II), and cis-β-[Co(trien)(NO2)2]·ClO3 (III) are reported. Compound (I) crystallized in space group Pbca, with a = 12.3323(9), b = 13.0265(9) and c = 18.1597(13) Å; compound (II) crystallized in space group Pca21, with a = 8.1844(7), b = 14.7011(14) and c = 12.4875(12) Å, while compound (III) also crystallized in space group Pca21, with a = 12.4897(8), b = 8.8499(6) and c = 12.6500(8) Å. In all three cases, the Co(III) ions were six-coordinated with nitrogens from trien and two nitrates. Inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions are discussed to explain the conglomerate versus racemate crystallization behavior adopted by these three compounds, with comparison of their known analogue compounds of cis-α/β-[Co(trien)(NO2)2]X, where X = halide and NO− 3. For the cis-β-[Co(trien)(NO2)2]+ cation, the conformation of the cation itself determines the intramolecular hydrogen bonding pattern, and the interaction of counteranions can be ignored, while in cis-α-[Co(trien)(NO2)2]·ClO4, the perchlorate interrupts the intramolecular hydrogen bonding pattern observed in the halide analog.
