Abstract
In the title compound, the CoII cations are octahedrally coordinated by two N-bonded thiocyanate anions, two 4-methylpyridine ligands and two water molecules into discrete complexes that are linked by O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds into layers. Upon heating, the title compound loses the water molecules and transforms into Co(NCS)2(C6H7N)2, which is already reported in the literature
The reaction of Co(NCS)2 and 4-methylpyridine (C6H7N) in water leads to the formation of light-blue single crystals of the title compound, [Co(NCS)2(C6H7N)2(H2O)2]. The asymmetric unit consists of one CoII cation (site symmetry 1) as well as one thiocyanate anion, one 4-methylpyridine coligand and one water molecule in general positions to generate trans-CoN4O2 octahedra. In the crystal, the complexes are linked by O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds into a layered network. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) shows that a pure sample has been obtained. Upon heating, the title compound loses its water molecules and transforms into Co(NCS)2(C6H7N)2, which is already reported in the literature.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
