title: Bis(N,N-diethyl-dithio-carbamato)(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(III) tetra-fluorido-borate.
abstract: The cationic complex in the structure of the title compound, [Co(Et(2)NCS(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))]BF(4), has a Co(III) atom with a distorted octa-hedral coordination formed by four S atoms of two diethyl-dithio-carbamate and two N atoms of 1,10-phenanthroline ligands. The crystal structure features head-to-tail stacking of the phenanthroline ligands. The tetra-fluorido-borate anions are positioned in the channels between the cation stacks running along the a axis, and form weak C-H⋯F interactions.
