title: Triazido-[tris-(2-pyridyl-κN)methyl-amine]cobalt(III).
abstract: The title compound, [Co(N(3))(3)(C(16)H(14)N(4))], was synthesized by hydro-thermal reaction of [Co(NH(3))(6)](NO(3))(3), NaN(3) and tris-(2-pyrid-yl)methyl-amine. The structure contains two independent complexes in the asymmetric unit, with closely comparable geometry. The Co(III) atoms are hexa-coordinated by three N atoms from the tridentate tris-(2-pyrid-yl)methyl-amine ligands and three azide ions in a fac arrangement. N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are formed between the amino group and the uncoordinated terminal N atoms of the azide ligands.
