catena-Poly[[bis­(methanol-κO)bis­(thio­cyanato-κN)cobalt(II)]-μ-1,3-bis­(pyridin-4-yl)propane-κ(2) N,N′]

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(NCS)(2)(C(13)H(14)N(2))(CH(3)OH)(2)], consists of one cobalt(II) cation located on a center of inversion, one half of a 1,3-bis­(pyridin-4-yl)propane ligand located on a twofold rotation axis, as well as one thio­cyanate anion and one methanol mol­ecule in general positions. The cobalt(II) cation is coordinated by two terminal N-bonded thio­cyanate anions and two N-bonded 1,3-bis­(pyridin-4-yl)propane ligands, as well as two O atoms of methanol mol­ecules in a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination mode. Adjacent cations are connected into chains parallel to [10[Image: see text]] by the bridging 1,3-bis­(pyridin-4-yl)propane ligands. These chains are connected through inter­molecular O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds between the methanol hy­droxy group and the terminal S atom of the thio­cyanate anion.
