cis-Bis(2,2′-bipyridyl)dicyanatocobalt(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Co(NCO)2(C10H8N2)2], the Co atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2′-bipyridyl ligands and two N atoms from two cyanate anions in a distorted octahedral geometry. The Co atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. The average Co—N bond length is 2.126 (7) Å. Weak intermolecular C—H...O interactions lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
