In the title complex, [Co(NCS)2(C10H9N3O)2(H2O)2], the CoII ion is located on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and is in a slightly distorted octa­hedral CoN4O2 coordination environment. The dihedral angle between the pyridine and pyrazine rings is 85.86 (10)°. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H...N and O—H...S hydrogen bonds link complex mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

Molecules containing both pyridyl and pyrazinyl groups are useful multi-dentate ligands and a number of complexes have been published dealing with these ligands (e.g. Zhao et al., 2007; Li, 2007). Herein the crystal structure of the title complex, (I), with 2-((pyridin-2-yl)methoxy)pyrazine as ligand, is reported.

The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. In the mono-nuclear complex, atom Co1 lies on a twofold rotation axis and its coordination geometry is slightly distorted octahedral (Table 1). In the crystal structure, complex molecules are linked via intermolecular O—H···S and O—H···N hydrogen bonds as shown in Fig. 2 and Table 2, to form a three-dimensional network. The diheral angle between pyridine and pyrazine rings is 85.86 (10)°. The title compound is isostructural with the MnII complex (Li, 2007).

Experimental top

A 5 ml methanol solution of 2-[(pyridin-2-yl)methoxy]pyrazine (0.0526 g, 0.281 mmol) was added into 10 ml H2O solution containing Co(ClO4)2.6H2O (0.1032 g, 0.282 mmol) and NaSCN (0.0457 g, 0.564 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for a few minutes. Red single crystals were obtained after the solution had been allowed to stand at room temperature for two weeks.

Refinement top

The H atoms bonded to O atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and included in their 'as found' positions. The C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions, C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å. All H atoms were refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C,O).

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.
