Bis(1-dodecyl-4-aza-1-azoniabi­cyclo­[2.2.2]octane)tetra­iso­thio­cyanato­cobalt(II)

The title compound, [Co(C(18)H(37)N(2))(2)(NCS)(4)], consists of a cobalt(II) ion positioned on the origin of the triclinic unit cell. It is coordinated by the N atoms of two trans-oriented 1-dodecyl-4-aza-1-azoniabi­cyclo­[2.2.2]octane (DABCO(+)) cations, which carry n-dodecyl chains at the non-coordinating N atoms. The distorted octa­hedral coordination environment of the Co(II) ion is completed through four N atoms of iso­thio­cyanate ions, which are arranged within the equatorial plane. Non-classical hydrogen bonding of the types C—H⋯N and C—H⋯S between the filamentous mol­ecules lead to the formation of layers parallel to (001). [Image: see text]
