In the title compound, [Co2(NCSe)4(C4H4N2)3(CH3OH)2]n, the CoII ion is coordinated by three N-bonded pyrimidine ligands, two N-bonded seleno­cyanate anions and one O-bonded methanol mol­ecule in an octa­hedral coordination mode. The asymmetric unit consists of one CoII ion, one pyrimidine ligand, two seleno­cyanate anions and one methanol mol­ecule in general positions as well as one pyrimidine ligand located around a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal structure, the pyrimidine ligands bridge [Co(CNSe)2(CH3OH)] units into zigzag-like chains, which are further connected by pyrimidine ligands into layers parallel to (010).

Comment top

Recently, we have shown that thermal decomposition reactions are an elegante route for the discovering and preparation of new ligand-deficient coordination polymers with defined magnetic properties (Wriedt & Näther, 2009a,b; Wriedt, Sellmer & Näther, 2009a,b). In our ongoing investigation in this field, we have reacted cobalt(II) nitrate, potassium selenocyanate and pyrimidine in methanol. The crystals obtained were identified by single crystal X-ray determination.

The title compound (Fig. 1) represents a two-dimensional layered coordination polymer, which is isotypic to its corresponding nickel(II) thiocyanate analogue reproted recently (Wriedt et al., 2009). The crystal structure consists of µ-1,3-(N,N) pyrimidine bridged zigzag-like cobalt(II) selenocynate chains, which are further linked by µ-1,3-(N,N) pyrimidine ligands into layers (Fig. 2). Within each layer the CoII ions are bridged by three pyrimidine ligands and are further terminally coordinated by two N-bonded selenocyanate anions and one O-bonded methanol molecule in an octahedral coordination mode (Fig. 1). The layers are stacked in the direction of the crystallographic b-axis (Fig. 3). The CoN5O octahedron is markedly distorted with three long Co—Npyrimidine distances in the range of 2.184 (3) to 2.191 (3) Å, one long Co—OMeOH distance of 2.142 (3) Å and two short Co—NCSe distances of 2.059 (4) and 2.064 (4) Å (Table 1). The angles arround the metal centers range between 86.37 (13) to 96.00 (13) and 173.71 (13) to 177.16 (14)°. The shortest intra- and interlayer Co···Co distances amount to 6.0723 (6) and 8.5630 (9) Å, respectively.

Experimental top

Co(NO3)2.6H2O (72.8 mg, 0.25 mmol), KNCSe (72.0 mg, 0.5 mmol) and pyrimidine (20.0 mg, 0.25 mmol) obtained from Alfa Aesar were transfered in a closed snap-vial with methanol (3 ml). After several days at room temperature without stirring, light pink block-shaped single crystals of the title compound were obtained in a mixture with unknown phases.

Refinement top

The O-bound H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and its bond length set to a ideal value and finally refined using a riding model. All other H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 (CH) and 0.96 (CH3) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2(1.5 for methyl)Ueq(C). The absolute structure was determined on the basis of 1579 Friedel pairs.
