%X X-ray crystallographic analysis of u-fac-[Co(dien)(dpt)] (ClO4)3,H2O [dien = diethylenetriamine, dpt = di(3-aminopropyl)amine] confirms the assigned u-fac geometry. The two six-membered chelate rings of the coordinated dpt adopt chair and flattened-chair conformations. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1, with a 8.979(2), b 11.436(2), c 11.463(3) Å, &#945; 91.15(2), &#946; 101 .84(2), &#947; 93.41(2)º. A molecular mechanics analysis of the three [Co(dien)(dpt)]3+ geometric isomers gives the u-fac as the most stable, in accord with experimental observations.
