Abstract: The structure of the title compound, [Co(NCS)₂(C₅H₈N₂)₄], consists of isolated molecules of [Co(NCS)₂(Eim)₄] (Eim = 1-ethylimidazole), having an octahedral CoN₆ configuration. The NCS^- anions are positioned in a trans-configuration and four N atoms from the 1-ethylimidazole ligands define the equatorial plane. The mean Co-N(Eim) and Co-N(NCS) distances are 2.137 (6) and 2.152 (6) Å respectively.
