Abstract: The title compound, [Co₂(CH₃O)₂(C₄H₅N₃)₄](BF₄)₂, consists of a discrete dimeric Co^II complex. The asymmetric unit consists of one pyrimidin-2-amine ligand, which occupies a general position, and one methanolate group, as well as one Co^II cation and one tetrafluoroborate anion, which are located in special positions. The Co^II cation lies on a twofold rotation axis, whereas the tetrafluoroborate anion and the methanolate group lie on mirror planes. The N atoms of the pyrimidin-2-amine ligand are involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding. From this arrangement, large channels are formed, which elongate in the direction of the crystallographic c axis.
