In the title compound, [Co(NCS)2(C11H9N3O)2(H2O)2], the octahedrally coordinated CoII ion lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is bound by two isothiocyanate ligands, two aqua ligands and two N-(pyridin-4-yl)isonicotinamide (4-pina) ligands. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings in the 4-pina ligand is 8.98 (11)°. In the crystal, the individual molecular units are aggregated in three dimensions by O—H⋯N, O—H⋯S and N—H⋯S hydrogen-bonding pathways.

Cobalt(II) thiocyanate was obtained commercially. 4-Pyridylisonicotinamide was prepared by a published procedure (Gardner et al., 1954). Cobalt(II) thiocyanate (23 mg, 0.13 mmol) was dissolved in 3 ml water in a 15 ml glass vial. Onto this solution was layered 2 ml of a 1:1 water:ethanol solution, followed by a solution of 4-pina (19 mg, 0.10 mmol) dissolved in 3 ml 95% ethanol. Pink blocks of the title compound (16 mg, 0.026 mmol, 55% yield based on 4-pina) were obtained after 14 d at 298 K, and were isolated after washing with distilled water and acetone, and drying in air.
All H atoms bound to C atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.95 Å, and refined in riding mode with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms bound to the aqua ligand O atom were found in a difference Fourier map, restrained with with O—H = 0.85 Å and refined with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(O). The H atom bound to the 4-pina ligand N atom was found in a difference Fourier map, restrained with with N—H = 0.90 Å and refined with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(N).
In an attempt to prepare cobalt isothiocyanato coordination polymers containing 4-pyridylisonicotinamide (4-pina), the title compound, [Co(H2O)2(NCS)2(C11H9N3O)2], was isolated.
The
of the title compound contains a CoII ion on a crystallographic inversion center, one aqua ligand, one N-bound isothiocyanato ligand, and one 4-pina ligand bound via the pyridyl ring closest to the amide N atom. Operation of the inversion center produces a complete [Co(H2O)2(NCS)2(4-pina)2] molecular complex (Fig. 1). The CoII ion is octahedrally coordinated with trans aqua ligands, trans isothiocyanato ligands and trans 4-pina ligands. One of the pyridyl termini of the 4-pina ligand remains unligated and unprotonated.Individual [Co(H2O)2(NCS)2(4-pina)2] complexes are connected into supramolecular chain motifs oriented along the [1 1 0] crystal direction (Fig. 2) via O—H···N hydrogen bonding between aqua ligands and unligated pyridyl N atoms. In turn these supramolecular chains aggregate into layer motifs (Fig. 3) by means of O—H···S hydrogen bonding between aqua ligands and terminal S atoms of the isothiocyanato ligands. These layers are coincident with the crystallographic (0 1 1) planes. These planes further aggregate into the three-dimensional of the title compound (Fig. 4) through N—H···S hydrogen bonding between amide N—H groups of the 4-pina ligands and terminal S atoms of the isothiocyanato ligands.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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. |

In an attempt to prepare cobalt isothiocyanato coordination polymers containing 4-pyridylisonicotinamide (4-pina), the title compound, [Co(H2O)2(NCS)2(C11H9N3O)2], was isolated.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains a CoII ion on a crystallographic inversion center, one aqua ligand, one N-bound isothiocyanato ligand, and one 4-pina ligand bound via the pyridyl ring closest to the amide N atom. Operation of the inversion center produces a complete [Co(H2O)2(NCS)2(4-pina)2] molecular complex (Fig. 1). The CoII ion is octahedrally coordinated with trans aqua ligands, trans isothiocyanato ligands and trans 4-pina ligands. One of the pyridyl termini of the 4-pina ligand remains unligated and unprotonated.
Individual [Co(H2O)2(NCS)2(4-pina)2] complexes are connected into supramolecular chain motifs oriented along the [1 1 0] crystal direction (Fig. 2) via O—H···N hydrogen bonding between aqua ligands and unligated pyridyl N atoms. In turn these supramolecular chains aggregate into layer motifs (Fig. 3) by means of O—H···S hydrogen bonding between aqua ligands and terminal S atoms of the isothiocyanato ligands. These layers are coincident with the crystallographic (0 1 1) planes. These planes further aggregate into the three-dimensional crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 4) through N—H···S hydrogen bonding between amide N—H groups of the 4-pina ligands and terminal S atoms of the isothiocyanato ligands.
