Abstract: The title compound, (C₁₉H₁₅N₄)₂[Co(NCS)₄], has two crystallographycally different molecules of bis(2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium) tetrathiocyanatecobaltate in the asymmetric unit. There are only minor geometric differences between them. Each cobalt(II) ion is coordinated by the N atoms of four NCS anions, showing the magnitude of the magnetic moment expected from the NCS^- crystal field strength.
