Ammine(2-ethylpyridine-N)bis(tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolato-S)cobalt(II)

A. Pladzyk and K. Baranowska

Abstract: The title compound, [Co(C₁₂H₂₇O₃SSi)₂(C₇H₉N)(NH₃)], was obtained by the reaction of dimeric [Co{SSi(O^tBu)₃}₂(NH₃)]₂ with 2-ethylpyridine. The Co^II atom is coordinated by two S atoms from two silanethiolate ligands and two N atoms, one from ammonia and one from a 2-ethylpyridine molecule. The arrangement of the ligands around the Co^II centre facilitates the formation of an intermolecular N-HS hydrogen bond. One of the tert-butyl groups and the 2-ethylpyridine ligand are disordered over two positions each, with approximate occupancy ratios of 2:1 and 3:1, respectively.
