Crystal structure of tris-(2,2'-bi-pyridine)-cobalt(II) bis-(1,1,3,3-tetra-cyano-2-eth-oxy-propenide).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Co(C₁₀H₈N₂)₃](C₉H₅N₄O)₂, the tris-(2,2'-bi-pyridine)-cobalt(II) dication lies across a twofold rotation axes in the space group C2/c. The N atoms of the three bi-pyridine ligands form a distorted octa-hedron around the cobalt ion. All the N atoms of the polynitrile 1,1,3,3-tetra-cyano-2-eth-oxy-propenide anions participate in C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds ensuring crystal cohesion and forming a three-dimensional structure. The structure is further stabilized by C-H⋯π(cation) and anion⋯π(cation) inter-actions.
