Abstract: In the title complex, [Co(C₂₆H₂₀N₂O₄)(NCS)]·C₄H₁₀O·CH₂Cl₂, the pentacoordinated Co^III atom exhibits a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with an N,N',O,O' tetradentate Schiff base ligand in the basal plane and one thiocyanate ligand at the apical site. The diethyl ether molecule is located in a cavity provided by four O atoms of the ligand with weak C-HO interactions, generating two short OO contact distances [2.766 (3) and 2.745 (3) Å] between the diethyl ether molecule and the ligand. The crystal structure is stabilized by the weak C-HO and C-HN interactions and - interactions between the naphthyl ring system and the benzene ring [centroid-centroid distance = 3.657 (5) Å] and between the two naphthyl ring systems [centroid-centroid distance = 4.305 (2) Å].
