Abstract: The brown cobalt(III) complex of the designed ligand bis(methyl 2-pyridylmethylidenehydrazinecarbodithioate) (HNNS), [Co(NNS)₂]ClO₄ or [Co(C₈H₈N₃S₂)₂]ClO₄, has been synthesized and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and mass spectroscopic techniques. X-ray crystallography of the title compound has shown unambiguously that the crystallographic asymmetric unit consists of a [Co(NNS)₂]⁺ cation and one ClO₄^- anion. The two NNS^- ligands coordinate orthogonally to the central Co^III ion with a mer configuration.
