J.-G. Wang, J.-H. Qin and G.-Y. Zhang

Abstract: In the title compound, [CoCl₂(C₁₀H₈N₂S)₂]_n, the Co^II atom is located on an inversion centre and is six-coordinated by four N atoms of four symmetry-related di-4-pyridyl sulfide ligands, and two Cl atoms in trans positions, in a distorted octahedral geometry. The bridging bidentate di-4-pyridyl sulfide ligands link the Co^II centres into a three-dimensional network. The four coordinating pyridine groups are donors and acceptors (N atoms) for intramolecular C-HN and C-HCl hydrogen bonds.
