Crystal structure of bis­(pyridine-4-carbo­thio­amide-κN (1))bis­(thio­cyanato-κN)cobalt(II) methanol monosolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(NCS)(2)(C(6)H(6)NS)(4)]·CH(3)OH, consists of one cobalt(II) cation, two thio­cyanate anions, four pyridine-4-carbo­thio­amide ligands and one methanol mol­ecule that are located in general positions. The Co(II) cations are coordinated by two terminal N-bonding thio­cyanate anions and four N-bonding pyridine-4-carbo­thio­amide ligands, resulting in discrete and slightly distorted octa­hedral complexes. These complexes are linked into a three-dimensional network via inter­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonding between the amino H atoms and the thio­cyanate and pyridine-4-carbo­thio­amide S atoms. From this arrangement, channels are formed in which the methanol solvate mol­ecules are embedded and linked to the host structure by inter­molecular O—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding.
