Synthesis and crystal structure of diiso-thio-cyanato-tetra-kis-(4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide)cobalt(II) and diiso-thio-cyanato-tris-(4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide)cobalt(II) showing two different metal coordination polyhedra.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of Co(NCS)₂ with 4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide (C₆H₇NO) leads to the formation of two compounds, namely, tetra-kis-(4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide-κO)bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)cobalt(II), [Co(NCS)₂(C₆H₇NO)₄] (1), and tris-(4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide-κO)bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)cobalt(II), [Co(NCS)₂(C₆H₇NO)₃] (2). The asymmetric unit of 1 consists of one Co^II cation located on a centre of inversion, as well as one thio-cyanate anion and two 4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide coligands in general positions. The Co^II cations are octa-hedrally coordinated by two terminal N-bonding thio
