The title complex, [Co(C15H11N3)2](C4N3)2, is built up from discrete [Co(terpy)2]2+ cations (terpy is 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) and [C(CN)3]- anions. In the cation, the CoII atom is coordinated by two terpy molecules, giving a distorted octahedral geometry. The tricyanomethanide anions are not directly coordinated to the CoII atom, but some weak C-H
N hydrogen bonds involving the terminal N atoms of the tricyaomethanide ions and the terpyridine H atoms link anions and cations building a three-dimensional network.
A 5 ml e thanol solution of terpyridine (0.10 mmol, 23.33 mg) and a 2 ml aqueous pink solution of cobalt nitrate (0.10 mmol, 29.10 mg) were mixed and stirred for 5 min, the mixed solution was deep-brown. To the mixture was added a 3 ml e thanol-water solution (EtOH:H2O = 2:1, V:V) of potassium tricyanomethanide (0.20 mmol, 25.83 mg). After stirring for another 5 min, the deep-brown solution was filtered and the filtrate was slowly evaporated in air. After two week, deep-brown block crystals of I were isolated in 17% yield. Anal: Calculated for C38H22CoN12: C 64.68%, H 3.14%, N 23.82%. Found C 64.84%, H 3.22%, N 23.95%.
The H atoms were treated as riding on their parent atoms with C—H distances of 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Recently, coordination polymers constructed by tricyanomethanide (tcm) have attracted considerable interest due to their unique structure characteristics and fascinating magnetic properties (Batten et al., 2003; Miller et al., 2001; Feyerherm et al., 2003). Interestingly, most binary tcm complexes reveal a rutile-like structure (Manson et al., 2000, 1998; Hoshino et al., 1999; Feyerherm et al., 2004), except that a doubly interpenetrated (6,3) sheet was detected in Ag(tcm)2 (Abrahams et al., 2003). To elucidate the structure-properties relationship of tcm complexes, diverse co-ligands such as hexamethylenetetramine, 4,4-bipyridyl, 1,2-bi(4-pyridyl)ethane were introduced and the structures as well as magnetic properties of the modified complexes have been systematically investigated. Among the Cu(I) or Cd(II) tcm complexes with these co-ligands, numerous structure types range from doubly interpenetrated (4,4) sheet to three-dimensional rutile networks were observed (Batten et al., 2000, 1998). By contrast, adjustment of the Mn(II)-tcm binary system with 4,4-bipyridyl as co-ligands leads to the formation of a one dimensional chain-like structure (Manson et al., 2004). On the other hand, 2,2':6'2''-terpyridine (terpy) has three potential nitrogen donor atoms. However, a few tcm complexes with terpy as a co-ligand have ever been reported (Yuste et al., 2008; Luo et al., 2008). To further study the role of the nature of co-ligands on the structures and properties of tricyanomethanide complexes, we herein report the synthesis and crystal structure of the new tricyanomethanide complex [Co(terpy)2](C4N3) 2 (I).
In I the cobalt ion is bonded to six N atoms from two terpyridine molecules to define the cation part, in which the basal plane is formed by the three N atoms (N1, N2, N3) of one terpy ligand and one N atom (N5) of the other terpy ligand, the apical sites are occupied by two N atoms (N4 and N6) of the latter terpy ligand. The tricyanomethanide anions do not enter the inner coordination sphere, but are linked to the cation part via weak C-H···N interactions (Fig. 1). These weak C-H···N interactions (Nardelli, 1995) build up a three dimensional network (Table 1).
In I, the Co—N(terpy) distances are in the range from 1.858 (3)Å to 2.139 (3) Å, these value are similar to the corresponding distances observed in other cobalt-terpyridine complexes (Indumathy et al., 2007).
Each tricyanomethanide moiety is almost planar. Bond distances and bond angles within the anions are in good agreement with those found in other tricyanomethanide complexes (Hoshino et al., 1999; Batten et al., 1999).
