2N1:N5]The title compound, [Co(C2N3)(NO3)(C14H12N2)]n, exhibits a zigzag chain structure. The CoII atom has a slightly distorted octahedral geometry formed by two N atoms of a 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand, two N atoms from two different dicyanamide ligands and two O atoms of a nitrate anion. A one-dimensional chain is formed through the dicyanamides, which act as end-to-end bridging ligands. The chains are linked into a three-dimensional network via weak C-H
O hydrogen bonds.
Co(NO3)2·6H2O (0.073 g, 0.25 mmol) and sodium dicyanamide (0.022 g, 0.25 mmol) were dissolved in water (10 ml). A methanol solution (10 ml) of dmphen (0.052 g, 0.25 mmol) was added with continuous stirring. The resulting solution was filtrated and allowed to slowly evaporate at room temperature. After one month, red single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction appeared. The crystals were collected, washed with water and dried in air (0.059 g, yield 60%). IR (KBr, cm−1): 2318 (ms), 2293 (ms), 2269 (ms), 2247 (m), 2211 (s), 2180 (s).
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic rings, and C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups.

Due to the stabilization of relatively strong magnetic coupling, multi-dimensional coordination polymers consisting of transition metal ions and dicyanamide ligand are currently being studied (Batten & Murray, 2003). Although the addition of ancillary ligands (e.g. pyridine, pyrazine, pyrimidine, 2,2'-bipyrimidine, 4,4'-bipyridine and 2,2'-bipyridine, etc.) into these binary systems frequently alters the bridging mode of the dicyanamide ligand from µ-1,3 to µ-1,5 and therefore leads to a paramagnetic behavior, a wide variety of molecular architectures subsequently obtained conduce to establish a better understanding of the relationship between structure and magnetic behavior (Burčák et al., 2004; Potočňák et al., 2002; Vangdal et al., 2002; Wu et al., 2003). Here we describe the structure of an end-to-end dicyanamide-bridged cobalt(II) complex, (I), incorporating 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) as an ancillay ligand.
The structure of compound (I) consists of well isolated chains of CoII atoms bridged by end-to-end dicyanamide ligands (Fig.1). In the chain structure, each CoII atom is coordinated by one dmphen ligand, one nitrate anion and two dicyanamide ligands in an octahedral geometry. The Co—N bond distances are in the range of 2.069 (2) to 2.123 (2)Å (Table 1). The nitrate ion binds in a bidentate fashion and the distances of Co—O are 2.1466 (17) and 2.2268 (18) Å. The shortest Co···Co distance is 7.169 (7)Å in the chain and 7.348 (2)Å between the chains.
An N1—O1···Cg(aryl ring) interaction is observed [Cg is the centroid of the ring C5, C6, C7, C8, C9 and C10 at 1/2 − x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 − z) with O1···Cg = 3.296 Å. No significant π–π interaction between the dmphen rings is observed (the shortest centroid-to-centroid distance is 4.364 Å). The weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds link the chains into a three-dimensional structure (Fig. 2, Table 2).
