Synthesis and crystal structure of poly[ethanol(μ-4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide)di-μ-thio-cyanato-cobalt(II)].

ABSTRACT: Reaction of 4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide and Co(NCS)₂ in ethanol as solvent accidentally leads to the formation of single crystals of Co(NCS)₂(4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide)(ethanol) or [Co(NCS)₂(C₆H₇NO)(C₂H₆O)] _n . The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of one Co^II cation, two crystallographically independent thio-cyanate anions, one 4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide coligand and one ethanol mol-ecule on general positions. The cobalt cations are sixfold coordinated by one terminal and two bridging thio-cyanate anions, two bridging 4-methyl-pyridine N-oxide coligands and one ethanol mol-ecule, with a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The cobalt cations a
