Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of bis-(iso-seleno-cyanato-κN)tetra-kis-(4-meth-oxy-pyridine-κN)cobalt(II).

ABSTRACT: Reaction of CoCl₂·6H₂O with KNCSe and 4-meth-oxy-pyridine in water led to the formation of the title compound, [Co(NCSe)₂(C₆H₇NO)₄] or Co(NCSe)₂(4-meth-oxy-pyridine)₂, which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its asymmetric unit consists of one crystallographically independent Co cation, two seleno-cyanate anions and four 4-meth-oxy-pyridine coligands in general positions. In the crystal structure, the cobalt cations are sixfold coordinated by two terminal N-bonded seleno-cyanate anions and four 4-meth-oxy-pyridine coligands within a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination. Between the complexes, weak C-H⋯Se inter-actions are found. IR spectroscopic investigations revealed that t
