Crystal structure of di­chlorido­bis­(dimethyl N-cyano­dithio­imino­carbonate)cobalt(II)

The structure of the mononuclear title complex, [{(H(3)CS)(2)C=NC N}(2)CoCl(2)], consists of a Co(II) atom coordinated in a distorted tetra­hedral manner by two Cl(−) ligands and the terminal N atoms of two dimethyl N-cyano­dithio­imino­carbonate ligands. The two organic ligands are almost coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 5.99 (6)° between their least-squares planes. The crystal packing features pairs of inversion-related complexes that are held together through C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯S inter­actions and π–π stacking [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.515 (su?) Å]. Additional C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯S inter­actions, as well as Cl⋯S contacts < 3.6 Å, consolidate the crystal packing.
