Triazido­[tris­(2-pyridyl-κN)methyl­amine]cobalt(III)

The title compound, [Co(N(3))(3)(C(16)H(14)N(4))], was synthesized by hydro­thermal reaction of [Co(NH(3))(6)](NO(3))(3), NaN(3) and tris­(2-pyrid­yl)methyl­amine. The structure contains two independent complexes in the asymmetric unit, with closely comparable geometry. The Co(III) atoms are hexa­coordinated by three N atoms from the tridentate tris­(2-pyrid­yl)methyl­amine ligands and three azide ions in a fac arrangement. N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds are formed between the amino group and the uncoordinated terminal N atoms of the azide ligands.
