Bis[tetra-kis-(pyridin-2-yl)methane-κ(3) N,N',N'']cobalt(II) tetra-kis-(thio-cyanato-κN)cobaltate(II) methanol monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [Co(C21H16N4)2][Co(NCS)4]·CH3OH, consists of one [Co{C(py)4}2](2+) complex cation [C(py)4 = tetra-kis-(pyridin-2-yl)methane], one [Co(NCS)4](2-) complex anion and a methanol solvent mol-ecule. In the cation, the Co(II) atom is coordinated by six N atoms of two C(py)4 ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the anion, the Co(II) atom is coordinated by the N atoms of four NCS(-) ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The methanol mol-ecule is disordered and was modelled over three orientations (occupancies 0.8:0.1:0.1). There are two weak hydrogen-bond-like inter-actions between the methanol solvent mol-ecule and NCS(-) ligands of the anion [O⋯S = 3.283 (3) and 3.170 (2) Å].
