Tris{N-[(anthracen-9-yl)methyl­ene­amino]thio­ureato}cobalt(III) tetra­hydrate

In the title complex, [Co(C(16)H(12)N(3)S)(3)]·4H(2)O, the central Co(III) atom is in a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment. There are three N-[(anthracen-9-yl)­methyl­ene­amino]­thio­ureate ligands coordinated to the Co(III) atom via three imine N and three thio­amide S atoms. The Co—S and Co—N bond distances are in expected ranges [2.2194 (8)—2.2545 (8) and 1.926 (2)—1.985 (2)Å, respectively]. The endocyclic S—Co—N bond angles in the five-membered chelate rings range from 82.91 (7) to 85.33 (7)°. The structure contains four water mol­ecules which are disordered over 12 sites and link the complex mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network through N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O, O—H⋯N, and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds.
