catena-Poly[[diaquabis(thiocyanato-N)cobalt(II)]--4,4'-bipyridine-²N:N'] 4,4'-bipyridine solvate]

R. Yao and D. E. Wang

Abstract: In the title complex, {[Co(NCS)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]·C₁₀H₈N₂}_n, the Co^II ion is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two N atoms from the two 4,4'-bipyridine ligands, two O atoms from the water molecule, and two N atoms from two isothiocyanate ions in a distorted octahedral environment. In the crystal, the coordinated water molecules, isothiocyanate ions and solvent 4,4'-bipyridine molecules are linked by O-HS and O-HN hydrogen bonds into layers parallel to the ab plane.
