Dichloro[2,2'-(methylenedithio)bi-1,3-thiazole-²N,N']cobalt(II)

W.-T. Zhao, H.-M. Liu and W.-Q. Zhang

Abstract: In the title complex, [CoCl₂(C₇H₆N₂S₄)], 2,2'-(methylenedithio)bi-1,3-thiazole acts as a bidentate ligand and chelates one Co^II ion through the two N atoms to give an eight-membered symmetric unit. The Co^II ion is located on a twofold axis and displays a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination environment, where the two Cl^- anions occupy the remaining coordination sites. The N-Co-N and Cl-Co-Cl planes are nearly perpendicular, with a dihedral angle of 88.0 (3)°.
