Tetrakis(ethyl pyridine-4-carboxylate-κN)bis(thiocyanato-κN)cobalt(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Co(NCS)2(C8H9NO2)4], the CoII atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms from four ethyl pyridine-4-carboxylate ligands in the equatorial plane and two N atoms of thiocyanate ligands in the axial positions, showing a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The structure exhibits disorder in one of the ethyl chains, which was refined using a two-site model with 0.70 (6):0.30 (6) occupancy.
