(4,5-Diazafluoren-9-one-κ2N,N′)bis(1H-imidazole-κN3)bis(thiocyanato-κN)cobalt(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Co(NCS)2(C3H4N2)2(C11H6N2O)], the CoII atom has a distorted octahedral coordination with the N atoms of the 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one ligand and two N atoms from imidazole ligands in the equatorial positions and the axial sites occupied by two N atoms of the thiocyanate ligand. Intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding forms a one-dimensional motif parallel to the cell ab diagonal.
